Children, being in the primary stage of their growth, they need proper maintenance, care and support. A man is responsible to provide maintenance to his parents, wife and children when they are unable to maintain themselves.

The child born from the marriage suffers emotionally and economically, so the parents are supposed to provide child support till the age of 18. The psychological health of parents whose children are incarcerated is a serious concern in India but largely ignored. This article provides the information regarding child support and child incarceration and the laws relating the same.
