Delhi High Court on Tuesday said that a son, irrespective of his marital status, has no legal right to live in the self-acquired house of his parents and can only live there at their mercy.
The court also added that only because parents have allowed the son to live in their house as long as their relations are cordial does not mean they have to bear his “burden” throughout his life, PTI reported.
“Where the house is self-acquired house of the parents, son whether married or unmarried, has no legal right to live in that house and he can live in that house only at the mercy of his parents up to the time the parents allow,” the court said in an order.
The court said this order while dismissing an appeal by a man and his wife challenging the order of a trial court which had passed a verdict in favour of parents, who sought direction to their son to vacate their homes.
