In fact such a statement is of a father out of his attachment in order to inspire his son to avoid monkhood. It is not a normal code of any sect or tradition as is evident from the use of word 'Charishyasi' and not 'Charet' in the verse.
Further in the same tradition there is another verse, which means that thousands of unmarried persons practicing chastity have taken rebirth in heavenly abode. This is what wise and religious people believe.
In brief, it is not necessary to give birth to a son in order to attain
heaven. In case heaven could be attained just by giving birth to a son, it
left out from a seat in heaven would have been only a few.
Chastity is the most important dharma. It is worthy to be practiced
at every stage of life. According to the tradition of the omniscients and
even in other tradition practiced in India, chastity is uniquely
appreciated. Innumerable instances are available where unmarried persons have accepted monkhood.
In Jainism, exceptions have been narrated in respect of other vows in certain conditions but there is no exception or laxity permitted in case of the vow of chastity.
In other words, Tirthankars have not described any other matter
except mating (sex) as totally acceptable or totally prohibited. In every
case there are exceptions in certain essential conditions. It is because
mating does not occur without extreme attachment or hatred. It does not happen without the fault of attachment.
The reason for such an exceptional importance of the vow of chastity is that only the very fortunate follow the extremely difficult vow of chastity even celestial beings, demon gods, gandharvas, yakshas, rakshasas and kinnar gods bow to those who practice the difficult vow of chastity or celibacy. They place their forehead at their feet.
