Hi alcazar, Well, if we think in logic, A married couple shouldn't life with parents is to avoiding conflict. Parent will interfear with personal family mater in a family we just build. Of course it is different when one of the parents got sick, we should move in and take care our parents. it is our duty.

Well, this topic is really debatable. I think it depends on the culture. In some places, children are expected to move out and stand on their own by the time they get 18 years of age. While in other countries, children who got married still find themselves staying in their parents' house. If the house is big enough to accommodate more than one families then I think it's okay. But for me I would love to move out and have my own privacy with my new husband. I'm just glad my future husband is already settled and has his own place.

I thought that the gal should stay with the husband's family after marriage, isn't that true? Couples moving out after marriage can't be said right or wrong because it depends on the family situation. Sometimes, when the couple cannot tolerate with the elders or having other difficulty in terms of going to work and so on, its best to move out to avoid hurting the elders feelings or creating a bigger problems in family. However, if the elders are fine or they have no one to be with, the couple should stay. If you ask me its not wrong to move out as long as you love your parents, care for them and look after them till forever

I was born in Malaysia but I'm of Indian origin. I thought that in India, after marriage, the girl has to stay with the boy and his family, especially if he is the eldest. So what you're telling me is that isn't the case at all? Anyway, no, I don't find anything wrong with a married couple moving out of the family home after marriage. They have their own lives now and will be starting their own family, so it's best they live alone in their own home. That will also be helpful in avoiding family squabbles with the in-laws, especially for the new bride.

Hi I too am an Indian and feel what u have said does not hold true always. There is nothing wrong in it till they maintain a good relationship with parents. Many a times parents are left alone and kids do not have time to look back to them, then that situation is wrong. We stay away from our in laws accomodation was a problem. Work place was very far so had to shift but it hasn't caused any bitterness in our relationship. I would just say love your parents and respect them, distance will hardly matter.

If possible it is good to stay with the grooms family. But if the boy is working elsewhere then he has to take his wife with him. But my personal opinion is the couple when they have kids it would be very helpful and supportive to have their parents with them .

If a boy have to stay away from his home for sake of his job then what is wrong .If he married with a girl she should stay with the boy not with the parents of the boy.I am disagree with you in this regard. Some time parent want to control their child after marriage which cause misunderstanding between the couple so better stay away from them.Otherwise if they want leave alone let them live.Afterall everyone has their ownlife.
