Yes. In India, a spouse who is having an affair can still be awarded child custody. An affair by itself does not automatically disqualify a parent from custody. The court’s main consideration is the welfare and best interests of the child. Under Section 13 of the Hindu Minority and Guardianship Act, the child’s welfare is the paramount consideration. The Delhi High Court specifically held in Vineet Gupta v. Mukta Aggarwal (2024) that being an “adulterous spouse” does not mean being an “incompetent parent.” An extramarital affair cannot, by itself, be the reason to deny custody unless the relationship is shown to be harmful or detrimental to the child’s welfare. When the affair could become important The court may consider it seriously if you can show that the affair: exposes the child to an unsafe or inappropriate environment; negatively affects the child's emotional or psychological wellbeing; involves neglect of the child; involves an abusive or dangerous person; causes the parent to be unable to properly care for the child; or otherwise demonstrates that custody with that parent would not be in the child's best interests. So, “my spouse is having an affair” alone is generally not enough. Evidence that the affair is actually affecting the child can be much more significant. If you tell me whether you are the husband or wife, the child's age, whether you are Hindu/Muslim/Christian/etc., and whether the child currently lives with you or your spouse, I can explain how a custody court in India would likely assess your situation.

Child's Best Interest Principle: Under Indian family law (such as the Hindu Minority and Guardianship Act and the Guardianship and Wards Act), child custody decisions are determined strictly by the best interest and welfare of the child, not as a tool to punish or penalize a parent for personal conduct. Impact of Past Relationships: A past relationship or affair from eight months ago does not automatically disqualify a parent from getting custody or visitation rights, unless it can be proven that the conduct directly and severely harms the child's physical, emotional, or moral well-being. Legal Evaluation of Evidence: Call records or private matters must be legally admissible and proven relevant to current parenting capability; family courts focus primarily on who can provide a stable, safe, and nurturing environment for the child.

Evidence of past affairs or call records is generally considered regarding moral conduct but is not the sole deciding factor in custody matters ​For young children maternal care is often prioritized unless compelling evidence shows it is harmful to the child
