Reading: We’ve been lovingly raising a little one since he was just a fortnight old. Now, after two and a half years, his father has taken him back. We’re deeply worried because the father is alone, without a wife, and has no stable income. The child is also technically illegitimate, as his parents are unaware of his existence. We fear the baby is struggling to connect with his father, feeling like he’s with a stranger. We believe it’s crucial for his well-being that he remains in a safe, nurturing environment until he’s old enough to understand the situation. The child’s welfare is our top priority.

Under Indian law, the father has the legal right to custody of his child. However, the court can consider the child’s best interests in determining custody arrangements, which includes the child’s emotional well-being, safety, and stability. You should seek legal advice to explore options for protecting the child’s welfare, such as seeking a court order for temporary custody or supervised visitation.
