Berlin court refuses custody of 27-month-old Ariha Shah to her parents citing evidence of intentional injuries, grants custody to Youth Welfare Office.
Denying custody to Ariha’s parents or the Indian Welfare Services, the court mentioned two injuries that the child had suffered, a head and back injury in April 2021 and a genital injury in September 2021
A court in Berlin's Pankow has denied the custody of 27-month-old Ariha Shah to her parents and handed her over to Germany's Youth Welfare Office (Jugendamt). Ariha has been in the custody of the Jugendamt since September 2021.
The court's decision, delivered on Friday, dismisses the parents' claim that the child's injuries were accidental, signaling a contentious legal battle over the child's custody and raising concerns about parental care.
The Ministry of Defence (MoD) said in a statement that the two reviewed the ongoing bilateral defence cooperation activities and explored ways to enhance collaboration, particularly defence industrial partnership.
