Description
Personal laws and the Guardians and Wards Act of 1890 govern child custody in India. Courts focus on the child's welfare, not parental rights. Custody can be physical, joint, or involve visitation rights. For Hindus, the Hindu Minority and Guardianship Act applies. Muslims, Christians, and Parsis follow their personal laws along with general statutes. Consider the child's age, education, emotional health, and the parents' financial stability. Courts usually prefer to grant custody of young children to the mother.
