I have seen families where parents are used as babysitters and house minders and that is tragic.

Well said 😊

Well said and succinct..😊

After the nuptial ceremony and sumptuous reception, the highlight of any wedding is Bidaai of the bride. A girl is led to believe since early childhood that her prince charming will take her away to live a new life with new family. Ghar jamaai scenario would definetly crush all the dreams a girl has ever had especially if the man is financially dependent on his wife. That's why they say a girl should not marry "down" .😊

well i've known of several men who've gone to live at his in-laws place in india.....to live in their village simply b/c his in-laws had no sons. so they needed someone to take care of the parents and everything else (property included).

this is something exceptional . I would say very good step 😊

See some times we have to trust people .. we can't judge like that in each and every case .. yes I agree there are chances.. but I see several real children who simply care about the property of their own parents rather than taking their good care they deserve😊

Qwertz ^^^ Well Said!!

As long as the ghar-jamai acts like any other jamai while earning his own bread and not sitting home with a devil's workshop, there is nothing wrong in it. IMO ghar jamais are only looked down upon only when they are weaklings and don't do their own stuff. If a millionaire lives with his in-laws, no one is going to judge him but they will understand that the girl's parents were alone and hence the decision. But if it some guy living off from the parents' income, they deserve to be ridiculed.
