Chapter 1112: Discussion on Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law Relationships
Actually, the law has long determined who should care for whose parents.
The law stipulates that children have inheritance rights, but daughters-in-law (sons-in-law) only have such rights if their husband (wife) has passed and they continue to fulfill the primary obligations of supporting the in-laws (father-in-law and mother-in-law).
As long as the husband (wife) is still alive, regardless of how the daughter-in-law (son-in-law) treats the in-laws, they do not have inheritance rights.
Rights and obligations go hand-in-hand; because the law does not grant inheritance rights to daughters-in-law and sons-in-law, it naturally does not require them to fulfill filial duties towards in-laws.
From the perspective that the law does not grant inheritance rights to daughters-in-law, it does not encourage them to fulfill filial obligations to in-laws.
