He demanded in Parliament that paternity leave be made a legal right, so that fathers do not have to choose between work and family to care for their newborn baby and wife. “After nine months of pregnancy, the mother has to go through the difficult process of normal or caesarean delivery. During this time, she is in dire need of medication, as well as the physical, mental and emotional support of her husband,” Raghav Chadha said.

Paternity leave exists as a legal right in many countries, but its duration, pay and eligibility vary widely. In general, this right is most established in Europe, Latin America and parts of Asia. MP Chadha demanded that similar paternity leaves should be provided in India as well. He said, “In countries like Sweden, Iceland and Japan, this legal right is guaranteed from 90 days to 52 weeks. In India, 90 percent of manpower is in the private sector. This means that most fathers do not get this right,” Chadha raised in the Rajya Sabha.
