The court refused the request of the minor boy to allow him to remain in the custody of his 'wife'. The 'wife' has also given birth to the child of the minor boy.
The Allahabad High Court has refused to give custody of a minor 'husband' to his 'wife', holding that their marriage was voidable and doing so would amount to sanctioning cohabitation between a major and a minor. As the 16-year-old is unwilling to live with his mother, the court did not give his custody to her either. It directed authorities to arrange for the boy's stay in a state facility like a shelter home till February 4, 2022 when he turns 18. It clarified that he can stay with whoever he likes, including his 'wife', after that. The judgment, given on May 31, was uploaded on the court's website on Monday.More Related News
