Bombay High Court rejects 50:50 custody order, citing no joint parenting law
Original: No ‘joint parenting’ concept in India: Bombay High Court sets aside 50:50 custody order
The Bombay High Court has set aside a family court order granting a divorced 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 decisions must follow existing legal frameworks focused on the child's welfare rather than automatically splitting time equally between parents.
Why now: The ruling has legal significance for divorced parents and custody disputes across India.
