Mumbai: 'Mother Should Have Child's Custody Even if She Works'

Mumbai, Jun 22 (PTI) The Bombay High Court has held that working women take care of their children very well and the argument that they do not get time to attend to kids cannot be a ground for "disturbing" the custody of the child.

These observations were made by justices Vijaya Kapse-Tahilramani and M L Tahaliyani who dismissed a habeas corpus petition filed by a Nagpur resident seeking custody of his five-year-old daughter from his estranged wife on the ground that she had a full time job and would not get time to pay attention to their child.

"Considering the age of the child, we are of the view that keeping the child in the custody of the mother shall be preferable than in the custody of father," the bench noted.
