Child Custody | Financial Stability Alone Cannot Override Maternal Emotional Bond; Structured Visitation Mandated : Allahabad HC
The Allahabad High Court ruled that while the father’s superior financial capacity is a relevant factor, it cannot override the mother’s irreplaceable emotional bond with her young children. The court mandated structured visitation rights to preserve maternal bonding, affirming that the best interest of the child requires more than economic adequacy-it demands psychological continuity and nurturing presence.
