A.Dear client,
If there is no mutual consent, the family courts decide who gets to keep the child and take his/her major life decisions. As per the Guardians and Wards Act 1890, the family court takes a decision on child custody but these can often be in conflict with personal laws. Hence, it depends on the discretion of the family court
