Looking after parents is the responsibility of sons, unless there are no sons or the sons are totally useless. The responsibility of the daughters is to look after her in-laws as her own parents.

Arshad, :hinna:

Daughters are never responsible for the inlaws. Its just a desi thing - nothing more than that.

What I dont understand is…why do guys like you feel your parents are not worth your own time? You go through the trouble of marrying someone so THEY can take care of your parents - but you wont do it when its actually YOUR responsibility? Why?

Your wife gets ajar for what she does BUT you are not relieved of your role and still will be held accountable for everything she did and you didnt.

Don’t belittle our cultural heritage by using words like dogmatic hindu customs. I am proud of our customs. Islam is spirtual, you can have any culture to go with that. I am not so enlightened but even I know what is right and wrong.

A lot of our cultural practices are ridiculous in nature and thats a fact. Yeah, its our culture but its not entirely compatible with Islam.

@arshad5

You seem to be contradicting yourself here. Didn’t you write that people need to align their thought process with religion as opposed to dogmatic hindu customs? So joint family and daughter in laws looking after the parents in law is a hindu custom?

Joint family system and DIL doing khidmat of her inlaws versus her own living and breathing parents who have a right over her IS a hindu custom.
