It does not have to be about what i would do i what i won’t. In such scenarios we have saying that it depends, aap ki izzat bari hai, ya aap ki ghairat. I wud prefer to take it from my brothers, my sons, my uncles, my cousins.

If they NEED, good. For daughter to think of her parents is good, but for parents to expect married daughter to contribute to household income when they can live within their own means - not good.

Hypothetical.
I have no sons, yeah we stopped after my wife popped out her third kid. I know should have popped out another 4 or 5 just to get that one son, but I’m stupid. There goes my plan of a son supporting me.
I did not spend my time, energy and money raising my brothers, uncles or cousin. Besides they have their own parents to take care of. So they’re not helping me out.
My daughters, well I spent every penny I earned on them. I raised them the best I could. The least they could do is help me(financially or otherwise) when I get old.
I’d prefer if the state supported me when I could no longer be part of the work force, but sadly things aren’t perfect and there is a very high probability of the state doing diddly squat for me.
For the elderly who have no safety nets, the least their kids could do is help them. People who think that married daughter shouldn’t help their parents should either start paying my bills or shut their yap holes.
