Re: Parents, Aging and Sudden Illness
You got me wrong, totally!. I am not saying its only the son's duty to take care of their parents **BUT it is more of the son's duty than the daughters. **Because the girls gets married and move on to her new home where as the boy is most likely (and should) live with his parents. But i didnt mean that the daughters do not need to make sure their parents are doing good. If need be, they should have their parents live with them and take them to docs or whatever is needed.
And those daughters who throw their parents at their brothers feet must be exceptions and not even deserving of being called daughters or even human beings.
apologies if I misunderstood you.
I still dont think it's MORE of a son's duty then a daughers. This way of thinking is all cultural and it is what we have learned being raised in this culture. We must get out of this mode of thinking and focus more on our Islamic obligations rather then what is right and wrong according to our pakistani culture.
