A.Dear Madam, Except adoption law you are entitled for custody of child and also file domestic violence case against your husband under general laws. Immediately get filed DV case under the provisions of domestic violence Act against him and his all family member thus take him under your control.

A.As per the Muslim laws when husband and wife are staying together the the child must stay with them and the husband cannot take the child away with him nor can the mother but when they are separated then mother is entitled only to the custody of her minor child up to the certain age according to he sex of the child. But she is not he natural guardian as per the Muslim Law but the father is. For a male child it 7 years and for female child it up to puberty as per Hanafi law and 2 years and 7 years as per Shia law.
In my suggestion you can give it a try under Guardians and Wards Act, 1890 and file a case in a court to get permanent custody of your child and court will pay attention to your case looking at the situation and history of your husband.

A.Hi,
If there is some type of court action involving the children (divorce, custody, visitation, child support, etc.) that is in process, then it may be illegal for you to take the children out of state, even temporarily, without permission from the judge and/or consent of the other parent.
If you find my answer helpful then kindly rate me.

A.Hi,
As per the Shariat law that applies to Muslims, the father is considered to be the natural guardian of his children irrespective of sex, but the mother is entitled to the custody of her son till the age of 7 years and of her daughter till she attains puberty.

A.Aap guardian wards act ke antargat custody ke liye court me case file kar sakte hai. Jiske liye aap ko advocate appoint karna hoga. Kyonki ye act sabhi dharmo par lagu hota hai. Aap ke pass apne son ka birth certificate hona chahiye.
Ab bachha kidhar hai mother jahan rah rahi hai vahan par bachha hai to vahi par district court me case file hoga. Agar bachha dusre district me hai tab vah us district court me file hoga jidhar bachha nivash kar raha hai.
Please respond
