Allahabad High Court denies mother custody of toddler raised by couple for 2 years
The Allahabad High Court has ruled against the biological mother's request for immediate custody of her two-and-a-half-year-old daughter, who has been raised by another couple for the past two years. The court emphasized that the child's welfare should be the primary consideration, and the emotional bond she had developed with her caregiver should not be disrupted.
The caregiver, who is married to another man, argued that she and her husband have the financial means to provide a stable environment for the child. The court considered a report from the Child Welfare Committee and directed that the biological mother can visit the child every Sunday and interact with her daily through video calls.
