If the child is born from the parents of two religions, the child’s guardian can not be decided only on the basis of religion. This comment was made by the Supreme Court on Monday.
While hearing the case of the right to custody of a man for his son, who was sentenced to death in the crime for the murder of his Hindu wife, the court rejected the petition of the child’s grandmother in which the claim was that the child has his right because The child was born to his son and his daughter-in-law was a Hindu who later adopted Islam religion.
On which, the bench of Justice SA Bobde dismissed the petition of the child’s grandmother and refused to make changes in custody custody of the child’s grandmother. On this case, the Bombay High Court has already given the same judgment as the Supreme Court has upheld.
When this matter was in the Bombay High Court, the court said that the custody of the child was given to his grandmother. For this, the child’s grandmother filed a petition in the Supreme Court. Advocate Liz Mathew, appearing for the Supreme Court on behalf of the child’s grandmother, told the Hindustan Times that in the case of the Supreme Court, the Bombay High Court only extended the idea and rejected the grandmother’s plea. The Supreme Court acknowledged that his grandmother could only take proper care of the child. The Supreme Court also said that apart from religion, there are many aspects in the law on which the court considers the right to custody.
