In India, there is no such thing as paternity fraud. Regardless of whether or not her partner has a history of abuse, the mother can get sole custody if she is unmarried at the time of childbirth. When a mother falsely claims a guy is the father of her kid and it leads to unfair child support payments, it's known as paternity fraud. Instead of being sent to jail in these situations, the man can demand that the lady pay him his money back.
Other facets of this include naming a father incorrectly on documents and misunderstandings that could lead to the possibility of several fathers, woman might not truly know who is the biological father. These are not subject to penalties. The only ones that are punishable are manipulating for child support or manipulating DNA test results to convince a man he is the father. These regulations apply to other nations, mainly within Europe where there is a high prevalence of single mothers. For India, none of this is relevant.
Sahiba accepted primary custody of the child if she left the column blank. Although Angad has the option to fight for joint custody in court, she is not required to give it to him. He will never be able to take her child unless he prove that she is an abusive and unsafe mother. You are effectively throwing the baby out of the house when you ask a lady who has a child in her womb to leave. The court will not accept justifications such as "I thought she miscarried." If Angad wins in the courtroom, he will only be granted supervised custody—that is, unless he can demonstrate that Sahiba is keeping the child in an unsafe atmosphere which is detrimental to child's growth. He has to first offer an explanation for his decision to throw her out when she was pregnant. It is not an adequate defense to say that she miscarried and spiritually shot Mr. Brar at the same time.
Many technicalities will exist, but entering a name the man who donated sperm on an official document will never get you arrested anywhere in the world. There have to be more justifications for locking up someone.
I don't know who first came up with the term "paternity fraud" in reference to this plot, but this isn't fraud unless Diljeet is being tricked. I dislike having to type this since it is unrelated, but given all of these conversations, it seems necessary.
