The man claimed his estranged wife and her family were not educated and unable to provide his daughter with a good atmosphere for her growth
Observing the poor grades of a 11-year-old girl in school showed that her mother was not taking proper care of her education, a Delhi court has granted her custody to her father. Guardian Judge Rakesh Kumar also observed that the mother of the child did not have sufficient space to provide her privacy in her growing years.
u00a0“The child’s report card reflects certain disturbing facts. (It) reveals that the child scored only 47.67 per cent with a C2 grade. It also reveals she was not regular in school and was absent for 32 days in the first semester. In these circumstances, it is proved that the respondent (mother) is not taking care to give education to the child,” the court said, and told the mother to hand over the girl’s custody to her father.
