It is easy for us in our ivory towers and standing far from the situation, to say xyz, without providing any proof.
Yes it does make a child forever indebted to his/her parents. This is not my personal opinion, this is what Islam dictates. Which is the worst of Sins in Islam? Shirk, the only sin that Allah will not forgive without repenting. Even if ones parent is committing Shirk one does not have the right to cut relations with them. Only thing is one doesn't have to obey them if they order to go against Allah's Law. Other than that all the rights of the parents are intact. Asma (radi Allahu anha) narrated: “My mother, who was a pagan, had come to see me in the days of the Messenger of Allah, so I sought the advice of the Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) about her visit. I told him, ‘My mother has come to see me and she is outside Islam, shall I treat her kindly?’ He said, ‘Yes, treat your mother kindly.’” [Sahih Bukhari] For explaination of the above hadith: http://dailyhadith.adaptivesolutions...ng-Parents.htm Did you know that disobeying ones parents is a MAJOR SIN? Abdullah bin `Amr bin Al-`as (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) said, "(Of the) major sins are: to ascribe partners to Allah, disobey parents, murder someone, and to take a false oath (intentionally)". [Al-Bukhari].
