Here are answer from a few people who have express their opinion on quora. btw quora is a website where people can ask question and get answer from various people on the web.

Answer 1

Why should your wife take care of your parents in your absence or when they need some help. Everyone at that age become mentally , physically and emotionally weak. They become dependent. All you can do is show little care and love no matter whose parents they are. If you follow , your kids will also follow and you 'll realise its value in your old age. :)

Answer 2

Why can’t you? or Why should your wife take care of your family?
In India we follow this quote “Marriage is not just the union of two hearts and not also just the union of two lives but also the union of two families” extensively. With marriage you din’t accept only a person, you’ve also accepted all the responsibilities of that person as your own. Moreover these things like taking care of each others parents will strengthen the relationship between you and your wife. Children do learn from parents, just think if your son/son-in-law would think the same as you and if their wives support them, what’ll be your story ahead!!


Answer 3

Why not! She gets married to you, leaves her family and home back and accepts your own parents as hers, takes care of your parents like hers then is it not your responsibility to take care of her parents as well? Marriage is two way, you get what you give. If you don't accept and care for her parents then you have no right to question over your wife duties towards your family.
My dear keep yourself in her shoes and think why should she be doing so many things for you and family. Marriage has two of you in it, be thoughtful and compassionate towards each other :)

My personal opinion on this is that after you marry someone you are unconditionally have to take care of their parents as well. if you expect your wife to take care of you, your kids, your family. be sure to reciprocate that back to her. Marriage is a mutually agreement between both parties.
