Mitzvah #70 - Cursing parents

One who curses their mother or father using the name of Gcd get puts to death by Beth Din by stoning.

This is true even if the parent is no longer alive.

One who curses their mother or father without using the name of Gcd gets 39 lashes by Beth Din.

Applies to everybody, everywhere, always

Verse: "One who curses his father or mother shall surely die" (Shemot 21:17)

One who belittles or denigrates a parent - even if not explicitly - is cursed by Hashem, as it says "Cursed is he who belittles his father or mother."
