Modern Governments have adopted numerous methods to fight this problem effectively. For decreasing the problems of old age some of the laws have been enacted. There is a provision in law Under Section 125 of the Criminal Procedure Code under the Chapter " The Hindu Adoption & Maintenance Act, 1956. Under the said Act of the law the old aged parents at this juncture of life has every right to claim for their maintenance from their wards/children. However, at this very stage of life, if sufficient fund is reserved under direct control of the old aged individual, number of problems are reduced.
