Bombay HC rules adultery not grounds for child custody, but a ground for divorce.
The Bombay HC ruled that adultery can be a ground for divorce, but not for granting custody of a child. In a case involving a nine-year-old girl, the court granted custody to her mother while dismissing a petition by the father seeking custody based on the mother's alleged adultery. The court emphasized that adultery cannot be used as a reason to deny a parent custody of their child.
