CHENNAI: In an extraordinary ruling, the Madras high court has sentenced to one month civil imprisonment a woman who refused to allow her estranged husband to visit their son despite court orders in the man’s favour. Justice M Jeyapaul of the Madras high court, who passed the order, however, stayed it till November 27 to enable the woman to attend a mediation programme in New Delhi and file an appeal.The Jain couple hail from business families in the city, and their son is six years old.
Even while holding that neither of the parents could claim to be the natural guardian of a child, the apex court ruled in 2004 that the remarriage of the mother could not be a disqualification for either claiming or safeguarding the custody of the child. Earlier this week, talking about the wealth gap between estranged parents, the apex court held that the promise of a luxurious lifestyle and quality education for the child could not be the primary factor in settling custody disputes. Neither of the parents should flaunt his or her riches to seek custody of the child, it had said, adding: “Ultimately, it is the child who suffers. We are not so much concerned about the individual riches or the ego of the estranged parents. No amount of luxury or riches can give the child the affection and love of the father or the mother. We are more concerned about the human angles involved.” Quote this article on your site To create link towards this article on your website, copy and paste the text below in your page.
