Is having grandchildren a legal requirement? A couple in India think so!

An Indian court is being asked to decide after a retired couple is taking their only son, a married pilot since 2016, to court for $791,800 CAN (or $500,000 pounds) for failure to procreate reports dailymail.com.

Sajneev Prasad, 61, and wife Sadhana, 57, filed a petition against son Shrey Sagar, whose marriage to his wife Shubhangi, was arranged and the couple were sent to Thailand for their honeymoon to produce an heir.

The parents say the couple must have a child within a year or pay up.

Sagar was trained in the U.S. courtesy of his parents’ money and returned to India in 2007 due to the recession and has worked as a pilot and lives separately from his working wife.

He got a trip to Thailand but failed to deliver the goods! Might not even need to be in writing if they paid for the trip. Proof of payment good enough, chiseling mom and dad out of assets.

I'm sure something is lost in the translation, but we don't know what the wife is working at!
