A couple, one from a Shia background and the other Sunni, are going through a divorce. If the mother gains custody, what faith would their child likely follow?

In India, under the Guardians and Wards Act, the child’s upbringing will be decided by the court, prioritizing the child’s welfare. The court will likely consider the child’s best interests, including their age, religious background of both parents, and any existing religious practices in the household.
