Parents suing son over him and his wife not wanting to have babies

jeudi 19 mai 2022 à 03:04

Parents in India are suing their son for the money that they blew on his fancy wedding and his professional training, because he and his wife don't want to have babies.

I suspect that the parents were as much responsible for making the wedding expensive as the couple. Fancy weddings are a form of competitive consumption, which in general can become a compulsion. Resisting it is a crucial part of wisdom.

India's population is growing substantially, and the consequences will cause great suffering in a few decades for almost everyone in India, and contribute to the suffering of the rest of the world.
