The Bombay High Court has set aside a family court order granting a divorcing couple equal 50:50 custody of their child, holding that the concept of 'joint parenting' does not exist in Indian law. The ruling clarifies that custody arrangements must follow established legal principles rather than shared-parenting models drawn from other jurisdictions. The decision is being reported by Indian media and is likely to shape how custody disputes are argued in family courts.
