A.Dear Client, the parents has right to live peacefully without abuse which is enumerated in the constitution as right to life and personal liberty. The primary objective of the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007 is to ensure that senior citizens can live peacefully in their own homes.
