What if a mother, without a house of her own, wants to care for her child? Can she get custody even if the father has a home? If the mother lives with another man, not being divorced, can she still fight for custody?

In India, a mother’s lack of a house doesn’t automatically disqualify her for custody. The court prioritizes the child’s welfare, considering factors like the mother’s ability to care for the child. Living with another man without a divorce doesn’t necessarily bar custody, but it can be considered during the assessment of the mother’s character and suitability.
