Abstract
A loving and harmonious family bond between parents and children will bring peace and tranquility not only to the individual but also to a nation. Children are bound to provide for their parents’ maintenance in their old age under the Al-Quran and Sunnah. Now-a-days children are often neglecting and avoiding maintaining and looking after their parents’ need. The Parents Maintenance Act is a beginning of a new step of protection for those unlucky parents who are often ignored by their children. Though there is specific legislation that provides for rights of maintenance to parents but still necessary to amend more specific provisions to reduce the gap between the existing provisions and reality for the betterment of parents. This paper finds out the rights of parents to maintenance under existing laws in Bangladesh. This study also analyzes the reasons behind not providing proper maintenance to parents by their children as well as addressing some recommendations which will be benefited for parents at their old stage.
