Check if the checkbox is checked

Question

I want to create the next logic: when i will check the checkbox to apply a background for another element. I want to do this using only css.

div{
  border:1px solid red
}
input:checked .parent {
  background:red;
}

<div class="parent">
  <label for="">Text</label>
  <input type='checkbox'>
</div>

So i want to apply a background for .parent when i check the checkbox, but this doesn't work. Who knows how to solve this?

@Roy, no, because in my case i cant change the html. I don't have acces — , Nov 05 '19 at 08:04
