As per law if the child's age is less than 5 years, the mother can claim for physical custody and father can have a visitation rights.

But after the child has crossed the age of 5 years, the physical custody and upbring of the child will be considered by the court. So, if the child is in your custody then you can file a case under Guardian and Wards Act seeking custody of the child if your husband denies you for the same.
