It’s against the welfare of both the child and the mother, says plea
A young Indian mother based in Kuwait moved the Supreme Court on Monday against a ‘custom’ in the Dawoodi Bohra community which allows a man to take over from his estranged wife the custody of their child who is above seven without any due process of law.
Fatema Quaid Zohar Challawala said the custom which allows the father “continuous custody” was against the welfare of both the child and the mother.
