The first type of rights for visiting children for stolen father emphasizes the absence of balanced shared parental laws in India and the urgent need for reforms.
The NGO Ekam Nyaay Foundation’s report warns the Foundation that fathers throughout India face long -term separation from their children, binding in custody, non -compliance with judges with visits, false legal cases and emotional problems caused by tactics.
On the basis of 108 fathers’ answers across the country, the study reveals that almost three out of four fathers who approached the courts looking for the right to visit were rejected the opportunity to see their own children.
He notes that fathers “face significant legal and social obstacles, often worry about court proceedings and are sometimes misleading about their available legal possibilities”.
The survey was carried out as a result of a suicidal case of software engineer Atulu Subhash, who accused his stolen wife and her sister -in -law in a detailed suicide and video and push him to settle legal action, and visitors and visual rights with his four -year -old son.
The key focus of the report is Section 6 of the Act on the Hindu minority and custody of 1956, which grants the mother automatic care for children under five years.
The report questioned part of the law and said: “As soon as the custody is granted in favor of the mother, the father spends years of running from courts to courts. Meanwhile, the emerging years of infant age will lose.
The report warns that the separation of children under the age of five of their fathers “sharply reduces the possibility of building a healthy relationship between the child and the stolen father”.
According to a survey, 48.2% of respondents asked for the rights to visit children in court. “In personal interactions with respondents, it has been observed that fathers are often recommended against filing the rights to visit,” she said, noting that such councils were often based on fears of retaliation of legal measures stolen spouses.
Even among those who approached the courts, success was rare. Of the 52 fathers who asked for a visit, only 13 rights were awarded.
“Refusing rights to visit blocks one parent from the child’s life, causing distance that will be difficult to bridge later, if the access is restored,” the report says.
Even among several fathers who have been granted weekly rights to visit, the mother’s court is often ignored, the report said.
Deepika Narayan Bhardwaj, director of Ekam Nyaay Foundation, said the case of Atul Subhash has pointed out the emotional tax on emotional tolls about fathers who were denied access to their children.
“Fathers in India are deprived of the love of their own child for alienation by a parenting parent. This research brings the situation of fathers suffering from parents’ alienation,” she said, urging the judiciary that “courts must accept shared parenting to make justice to fathers.”
