The Supreme Court of India has upheld the father’s custody of a minor son, emphasizing that the welfare of the child remains paramount. The Court clarified that working from home does not automatically grant an advantage in custody battles.
The Kerala High Court, led by Justice V.G. Arun, overturned a Child Welfare Committee ruling that granted custody of an infant to the father, emphasizing the mother’s right to breastfeed and nurture her child as essential elements of the right to life. The court criticized biases against the mother’s choices, ensuring the child’s best interests were prioritized.
