Do let me know how many daughters will be able to come and look after their parents in their old age? How many will be allowed to do that, given the mindset of the susraalis?

You are right, boys shouldnt be preferred over girls, absolutely right. But you cannot change everything all at once. Right now this is how it is, deal with it.

If we set out to change the mindset, it will slowly evolve. Yes, as of now most daughters are not able to keep their parents with them but slowly it is changing. My own mamoon ( Uncle) has two sons. He lived with one of them, ( the other lives in another city and they don’t see eye to eye). He was fine with the son he lived with but lacked much social interaction with the family. One of his married daughters brought him home and no, her husband has no objections. Even though both my mamoon and his daughter’s in laws are very very traditional. I guess it helps that my cousin with whom my mamoon lives is working now plus her husband is a very nice man.
