My wife passed away five years after our marriage, leaving behind our three-year-old daughter. Sadly, her family filed a case against me, and I was imprisoned for a while. I’m now out on bail and desperately want to get my daughter back. I hired a lawyer, but he’s been delaying the case for over a year, saying it’s complicated. What should I do now?

As a father, you have the right to custody of your child under Indian law. It’s concerning your lawyer is delaying the case. You should seek a second opinion from another lawyer, explain the situation, and consider changing legal representation if necessary.
