This rule was changed a while ago. The parents cannot claim a married child who files MFJ with her spouse UNLESS THE YOUNGER COUPLE IS GETTING ALL THEIR TAXES BACK ANYWAY, and filing MFJ IS UNNECESSARY.
In other words, if the younger couple has so little income that all of their withholdings come back to them, their filing MFJ doesn't prevent parents from claiming their child.
