The father can not claim custody of a minor child minimum till 5 years of age.
But mother also have a right of custody of the minor child after 5 years.
Although the facts what you have provided are not complete to ascertain your legal position.
I need more details so that right legal advice can be provided and there after appropriate legal remedy can be sorted.
Plz feel free to contact me any time.

From various judicial pronouncements the child below the age of 8-9 years and in the car of females even older has been fixed that the custody shall be granted to the mother and in some circumstances the same can go to the father. You should challenge the custody of father and seek custody of our children from the family courts.
