FATHER IN LIVE-IN RELATION CANNOT GET CHILD’S CUSTODY: PUNJAB AND HARYANA HIGH COURT

Image
The Punjab and Haryana High Court has held that if custody of a child is granted to a person in a “live-in” relationship without dissolution of previous marriage, there are chances that the child would learn that live-in relationships are the way of life. The court passed the order and dismissed an appeal filed by a Hisar resident challenging the decision of a family court Hisar on child custody. The court cannot approve this kind of social set up, because it would give a wrong signal to the society at large and would create an adverse impact on the tender mind of the minor child, especially a girl child,” the bench observed in its detailed order.
