Though your question is not clear to me but however there is a law namely “THE MAINTENANCE AND WELFARE OF PARENTS AND SENIOR CITIZENS ACT, 2007” where a son or daughter is under legal obligation to maitain her /his parents where “maintenance” includes provision for food, clothing, residence and medical attendance and treatment and “parent” means father or mother whether biological, adoptive or step father or step mother, as the case may be, whether or not the father or the mother is a senior citizen. Section 4 of the said law says that A senior citizen including parent who is unable to maintain himself from his own earning or property owned by him, shall be entitled to make an application under section 5 in case of -parent or grand-parent, against one or more of his children not being a minor a childless senior citizen, against his relative as defined in section 2(g). The obligation of the children or relative, as the case may be, to maintain a senior citizen extends to the needs of such citizen so that senior citizen may lead a normal life.The obligation of the children to maintain his or her parent extends to the needs of such parent either father or mother or both, as the case may be, so that such parent may lead a normal life.
