The mother had approached the sessions court after a metropolitan magistrate had refused to grant her interim custody while deciding her application filed under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act.
The woman had claimed that when she married in 2010, things were going well. But as time passed, the behaviour of her husband’s family towards her changed.
In 2019, the in-laws took away her child and asked her to leave the house, the woman said in her complaint.
The woman’s appeal in the sessions court stated that the magistrate while refusing custody of the child to the mother, had failed to consider that the child was less than 5 years of age.
