Bombay High Court Criticises Family Court's "Regressive" Remarks on "Pious Duties" of Wife, Sets Aside Interim Custody Order

Bombay High Court sets aside a Pune Family Court order that handed a minor boy's interim custody to his father after the lower court sermonised on the "pious duties" of a wife, holding such stereotyped reasoning is regressive and has no place in a child-welfare determination.
