Legal Guidelines About Child Custody in Pakistan & Hizanat

Child custody in Pakistan-Hizanat:

Advocate Nazia is the best lawyer in Lahore for child custody in Pakistan and hizanat cases. The meaning of child custody in Pakistan or Hizanat in Urdu means placing a thing on the side or clasping a thing on the side. In the first sense it implies separating the child from the father and placing it to one side, while in the second meaning it implies the holding of the child on one side like a mother carries a child in one arm on the side. In the legal sense it means child custody in Pakistan for purposes of protecting, feeding, bathing, clothing, and in general bringing up the child. The meaning does not include breastfeeding the child as the mother is not to be compelled to do so, and the father has to make alternate arrangements in case the mother refuses to breastfeed the child. Nevertheless, the fatwa is that she should feed the child to prevent injury to it. She is, therefore, to be compelled if no one can be found for wet nursing the child. The child custody in Pakistan belongs to women at certain stages of the child's life, and it belongs to men at other stages of the child's development, depending upon the welfare of the child.

Different Conerio of Child Custody:

In the case of females, other than the mother, it is a condition that custody cannot be awarded to females who are not within the prohibited degree of marriage. Thus, it cannot be granted to paternal or maternal cousins of the child.

The Priority For the Custody of Children Awarded to Related Females is as Follows:

The child custody in Pakistan, in the absence of the father, is awarded to the residuary in order of inheritance for the male child. In the case of the female child such a person must be within the prohibited degree of marriage and must also be a reliable person who is not a fasik, otherwise, the judge is to award custody to one of the reliable female relatives. An additional condition, in the case of both children, is that the residuary be Muslims, that is, have the same faith as the children. Where the mother marries a man, who is not related to the child and is a stranger for the child, custody is to be taken away from the mother. Where the mother becomes apostate custody is to be taken away from her. When the mother loses the right to custody, the right passes to the father, because the females mentioned in the priority above derive their right through the mother.
