I don’t want kids, but I’m also really broke.
So if the choice was between paying up nearly a million dollars, or popping a few babies out (and hence eventually spending the same amount as the former choice, just in installations like Atome but in real life), I don’t know what I’ll do.
This son in India is facing this exact dilemma.
His parents are so devastated by his choice to have a childless marriage, that 6 years into it, they’ve decided to sue.
On the grounds of “mental harassment”, they’re pursuing a lawsuit of 50 million rupees (nearly $900,000 SGD), should the couple not produce a grandchild within a year.
Reasoning Behind the Rupee
Much of the money, they claim, was actually paid out of their own pocket, and was hence money they justifiably wanted back. Apparently, they paid for their son’s lavish wedding, which included a wedding reception in a five-star hotel and his honeymoon. They also paid for his luxury car ($111,546 SGD) and pilot training in the US (over $90,000).
What brings them even more mental distress is that their daughter-in-law seldom visits them, and in fact lives in a different city from their son.

The elderly couple feels that their immense pain can only be eased by the appearance of a grandchild they can play with, and they would be willing to raise the grandchild by themselves, and hence bring no burden to the couple.
As much as the couple’s loneliness is understandable, a child forced to be born through monetary pressures seems like a surefire recipe for a lot of childhood trauma.
