Mere Desire Of Child To Be With One Parent Is Not A Ground To Decide Custody Matters: Bombay High Court

The Bombay High Court addressed a custody battle where the child's personal desires were considered in deciding the custodial arrangement. The Court emphasized that while a child's preferences are relevant, they alone are not sufficient to determine custody. Instead, the best interests of the child, including their welfare and stability, must be the primary consideration. The judgment underscored that legal decisions in custody disputes require a comprehensive assessment of various factors beyond the child’s expressed wishes.
