In a recent custody dispute in Gujarat, a divorced father has moved the Gujarat High Court, fearing that his paternal identity and rights could be erased after a family court named his ex-wife as the sole guardian of their son. The father argued that under the Hindu Minority & Guardianship Act, the biological father remains the natural guardian, especially for children above five years of age. He raised serious concerns that his involvement in his child’s life — including education and key decisions — could be undermined, and even his name could be removed from official records. The High Court has issued a notice and the case will be heard soon.
This case highlights parental rights issues faced by Indian fathers after divorce, especially around guardianship and legal identity of children. Men often struggle to retain involvement in their child’s life despite being natural guardians under law.
