Islam cares about family correlations by setting rules for legal rights for all the members of the family towards each other. If one of them falls short of these rights on purpose, the law can force him to do these rights or he will be punished by law, besides social punishment represented by the gazes of despise and scorn from the people around him in the society which can be more effective than legal punishment by law.
There are also many recommendations in verses of Qur'an and Hadith of the prophet. Islam sets an important rule in this respect that makes all Muslims do what they are asked to do about family rights, the prophet (May the blessing and peace of God be upon him) said: "Be as you want ever, as you treat others you will be treated" (1).
Whoever wants his children to be kind to him, he should treat his parents kindly. Whoever wants God to grant him long age and provide him with more sustenance, he should keep relations to kinship, the prophet (May the blessing and peace of God be upon him) said: "Whoever wants to be provided with more sustenance and be remembered after his death, he should keep relations with his kinship" (2).
