Bombay High Court rejects joint parenting in custody ruling
Original: No ‘joint parenting’ concept in India: Bombay High Court sets aside 50:50 custody order
The Bombay High Court has set aside a family court order granting a divorced couple 50:50 custody of their child, holding that India has no legal concept of 'joint parenting' and that custody decisions must follow the welfare of the child rather than an automatic equal split. The ruling clarifies how Indian courts may approach shared custody arrangements, and is drawing attention as family courts increasingly experiment with equal-time arrangements in divorce cases.
Why now: The ruling sets a precedent limiting equal shared custody arrangements in Indian divorce cases.
