Grandchild or R10m

Dehradun – An Indian couple are taking their son to court demanding that he and his wife produce either a grandchild within a year, or cough up almost $650 000 (about R10.4 million).

Sanjeev and Sadhana Prasad say that they exhausted their savings raising and educating their pilot son and paying for a lavish wedding.

Now they want payback.

“My son has been married for six years but they are still not planning to have a baby. At least if we have a grandchild to spend time with, our pain will become bearable,” the couple said in their petition filed with a court in Haridwar last week.
