So it depends upon each case n detailed analysis is required abt what can be done in each specific case

Yes why not, welfare of the child would be the paramount consideration in considering the custody of child. You can approach the honble court of competent court of jurisdiction according to the place of residence

Hi
Normally the mother is the natural guardian of child till the age of 5 Years under law. There is no bar in law which prevents handing over the legal custody of child irrespective of gender. You can claim custody by mentioning how the child can be benefited if the custody is given to you. The paramount interest of the law in such cases is child's future prospects taking into consideration the social, moral and financial background of the parents.
