 | Guru Kalle1 day ago Whether a child needs to go to the Undergrad in India or abroad needs to be decided by the father of the child along with discussions with the child and the mother.Financing the Undergrad education abroad is not an easy task but that needs long term plan..But what is happening is that,in many cases,mother of the child and child are taken to the mother's parents house on the pretext of summer holidays and then keep the child inaccessible to father for years making it impossible for the father of the child to take care.of.his child.even when he wants to and the child wants to.but what is happening in the country is that maternal side.of.the relationship are accorded with so much power that all they need to do is transport the child to their maternal parents house when the father has gone to work or take the child to maternal parents home,keep the child there,keep some dogs,pay some money to local folks.thats it,the child will become separated from one of the parent for long term which affects the child long term.It is important to make laws that are neutral to both the parents and mandate joint custody and if one of.the parent or their side people kidnap child from father and keep the child separated for more than the agreed period such as summer vacation of 1-2 months,there should be stiff penalties.In fact there is no need for one parent to take the child for a vacation for summer holidays,they should spend it together.Archaic laws need to be updated to modern times |
