Applying class to an element if it has a child with certain class

Question

is it possible in CSS or Stylus to apply style to an element if it has certain child class?

doing this for example:

.par > .chld
    background-color:red

Will color the child, but I need to color the parent

How can I do that?

As @alex mentions, there's no ascending CSS selector. Usually, if you find a need for this, you're going about something wrong. — marked-down, Dec 03 '14 at 00:40

You can't do that because CSS can't do that, unfortunately.

CSS has no ascending selectors (yet).

If you look at the CSS4 working draft, you can see a :has() selector has been proposed.
