An Indian couple is taking their son to court demanding that he and his wife produce either a grandchild within a year or cough up almost $650,000. Sanjeev and Sadhana Prasad say that they exhausted their savings raising and educating their pilot son and paying for a lavish wedding. Mentally too we are quite disturbed because we are living alone,” the couple said in their petition. The couple’s lawyer Arvind Kumar said the petition will be taken up for hearing by the court in northern India on May 17. India has a strong joint family system with many generations including grandparents, nephews, aunts and uncles often living in the same household.
