Child Custody Laws in India

Welfare comes first

Courts decide custody on what serves the child’s welfare, not on parental rights alone.

Laws involved

The Guardians and Wards Act, 1890 and the Hindu Minority and Guardianship Act, 1956, along with personal law, apply to different communities.

Arrangements

Orders can include sole custody, joint custody and visitation schedules, and can be revisited if circumstances change.
