Court: Mental illness no bar to custody unless danger to kid
A sessions court in Mumbai upheld a magistrate's decision to grant temporary custody of a 16-year-old son to his mother, dismissing the father's appeal. The court emphasized that a parent's mental illness doesn't automatically disqualify them from custody unless the child's welfare is endangered. The judge prioritized the child's welfare and noted the magistrate's thorough consideration of the case, including interaction with the child and mediation efforts.
