Can a mother stop a father from seeing child in India?
What is Child Custody? Both parents in India have legal rights over the child. The mother is allowed to have visitations and has the right of raising and caring for her child. The father also has the same rights to raise his children and to care for them, but he does not have a right to visitation.
In such a situation, either of the parents have the rights to the custody of a minor ( below the age of 18 years) unless decided by Court. So either the father or the mother can have the right to custody over the child depending on various aspects that deal with the welfare of the child. These factors include the character of the parent, economic conditions of the parents, any specified ‘will’ of a deceased parent, the moral environment at home, age and sex of the child and so on.
The Child will have to reside with either the mother or the father until the age of 18 unless by proof, the child is able to demonstrate that both father and mother are unfit to live with owing to the child's welfare and concern. In such situations, the child will be allowed to stay with the grandparents of either the father or mother, however custody will not be granted to a stranger or family friend.

The custody will go to either of the parents who could take best care of the child future. It is the discretion of the court to give custody of the child to mother or father or to any other person who could work for the betterment of child future.
