દિ પ્રમાણે દીકરા, વેળા પ્રમાણે વહુ.

Literally
Sons according to the days, a daughter-in-law according to the times.
What it means
The loyalty and behavior of one's children and daughters-in-law depend entirely on one's current wealth and circumstances.

Heard it differently, or know we've got the sense wrong? Tell us — that is exactly the kind of correction this needs.
