Balancing the Rights of Wives & Rights of Parents

Madhu Kishwar Live with Wing Commander (Retd) Pushkar Dwivedi


Ever since the parents of Kirti Chakra recipient expressed their anguish on TV channels over the conduct of their daughter in law Smriti Singh in breaking off all communication with them after their son’s death — not even letting them touch the award given by the President of India, leaving for Australia without as much as informing them — a very hot debate has started on the Rights of Wives Vs the Rights of Parents.

Those supporting Smriti Singh’s right to her freedom argue that only wives and widows ought to have rights to govt pension and other benefits. They are accusing Capt. Anshuman’s parents are acting maliciously by making a public issue of Smriti Singh’s desire to live her life her own way.

On the other hand, many are arguing that parents who invest their all in their son’s education and career building cannot be pushed aside at a time when they have suffered a grievous loss on account of the untimely death of their son. In today’s program Wing Commander Pushkal Dwivedi will share his experiences of dealing with such cases while in service and suggest ways by which we can do justice to the rights of wives as well as the rights of parents.
