This paper examines the issue of children disowning their parents after property acquisition in India, using a qualitative research approach that includes case law analysis, interviews with legal professionals, and a review of media reports. The study aims to answer the following research questions: How do current legal frameworks handle property transfers from parents to children? What are the emotional and financial effects on disowned parents? The key findings highlight a significant lack of legal protection for parents, with many cases revealing emotional distress and economic hardship. The analysis underscores the need for reforms in property law and judicial practices to protect parental rights. Ultimately, the paper calls for a comprehensive legal framework that addresses both property rights and familial obligations.
