Husband Can't Just Disown His Child Like That

family clat_ug intermediate mcq_help

In a case where husband disowns the child after divorce, which of the following is correct?

A) Husband's declaration of disowning the child is final and binding on the child. B) The child has the right to continue using the father's surname despite the disowning declaration. C) The child has the right to claim maintenance from the father despite the disowning declaration. D) The court can refuse to give any maintenance to the child from his father due to the disowning declaration.

My answer was D, but I'm sure it's not right. I thought the father has full authority over his child.

"Aapki point bahut sahi hai. Husband ke bina bachcha ka maath-baap nahi hota, lekin yeh saab kuch legal channels se kar sakta hai. Agar koi issue hai, toh unke paas khula court case bhi karne ka option hai. Bachche ka rights ka dhyan rakhna jaroori hai. Aur agar koi talaak bhi hui hai, toh iske baad bhi uski parental responsibility rehti hai.

Yaar, I completely agree, pati apne bachche ko utaarne se pehle soch le. Ye sabse bada dhoka hai jo koi bhi bachcha apni zindagi mein kabhi kabhi kabhi kar sakte hain. Bachche ke maa-baap hote hain, isliye inka kya hadd hai. Bachche ko apne parivaar aur samaj se alag karke unki dillagi toh kabhi bhi nahi hoti.
