I know it was to trigger DK but kya jarurat thi Vik ko ye bolne ki ki Ms. Mannat agar chahe to saari property Dua ke naam karu dunga!!!

Doesnt this imply he still thinks she is a GD!!!!

Kyun likhte hai aise dialogue jisse Vik ko gaaliyan pade unnecessarily

Cooly, Think about the scenario where couple are live-in relationship and adopted a kid. How will court see it. Whether the couple are involved in conjugal/domestic life no one cares. Whatever law applies to live-in couple with adoption will apply for Mannat and DK. If mannat says I am the mother and DK is nothing, then she will have to explain the court why Dua considers DK as her dad. Thats what they have been telling Dua right. And if birth certificate has his name as father...then court will consider it. You need not give DNA to become father...society has come far away from that. Court WILL favor DK because he is a caregiver to Dua, on birth cerficiate and raised her for 7 years.

mannat is morallly obligated to tell the court that DK is Dua's father(by the virtue of raising her), otherwise all her statements till now that Dua is DK's daughter are false.

If they go to court, DK will squarely win Dua if Mannat supports him, with evidence and by nature of their relationship. Unless writers come up with different legal system.

Otherwise, legally, morally and ethically Dua is ONLY mannat's. She can take her and say bye bye to both fathers.

Last dialogue of today's episode

Jo sunke kal DK room ke andar aayega and Vik pe barsega ki tum paise se meri beti ko khareedna chahte ho ... Basically to start his tirade Vik was made to say this

Writers, here to go! ChatGPT gives the answer. Vik will get visitation rights if Mannat agrees and he proves himself as a sane parent

Here is the prompt I gave.

"Here is a legal conundrum about parentage, how will Indian legal system views it. Boy A and girl A who are in love bore a child out of wedlock. Due to some misunderstanding girl A leaves boy A without informing him about her pregnancy. They separate and meet after 7 years. The child that had born is now raised by boy B who co-habitates with girl A without any conjugal relationship. the child's birth certificate has the boy B's name and she considers him as her father. She was raised by both girl A and boy B as their own child, even though they are not a couple. Now boy A comes to know that he is biological father to the child and goes to the court for custody. What will indian court say. Which father gets the rights to the child "

-------------------------------------------------------------------

This won’t be decided by a simple “biological vs. non-biological father” rule. Indian courts consistently center one principle above all

The controlling standard

Under the Guardians and Wards Act, 1890, custody is decided on the “welfare of the child”—not on who has the stronger biological claim.

How the court will analyze your scenario

1) Biological father (Boy A)

• He can assert paternity (the court may allow a DNA test if disputed).
• But being the biological father does not automatically give custody.
• The court will ask:
  • Why did he have no relationship for 7 years?
  • Did he make any effort to locate or support the child?
  • Is entering now in the child’s best interest—or disruptive?

2) Social/record father (Boy B)

• His name is on the birth certificate.
• He has raised the child as her father since birth.
• In Indian jurisprudence, this creates a strong “psychological and emotional parent” argument.
• Courts increasingly recognize de facto parenting—the person who actually performed the parental role.

3) The mother (Girl A)

• As the natural guardian (especially for a young child), her stance matters heavily.
• If she supports Boy B continuing as the father figure, that carries weight.

4) The child’s perspective

• At ~7 years old, the court may consider her comfort, attachment, and stability.
• The fact that she believes Boy B is her father is extremely important.

Likely outcome (realistic, not theoretical)

In most such cases, Indian courts tend to:

❌ Not uproot the child

They are very reluctant to disturb a stable upbringing.

❌ Not hand over custody to Boy A immediately

Even if paternity is proven.

✅ Maintain custody with the existing family unit

(Boy B + mother), because that is the child’s known environment.

What Boy A may get

Instead of custody, the court may grant:

• Visitation rights (gradual introduction)
• Possibly shared parenting over time, if it proves beneficial
• The option to build a relationship slowly

Courts often prefer a phased approach, like:

1. Supervised meetings
2. Regular visitation
3. Gradual emotional integration

When could Boy A actually win custody?

Only if he proves something like:

• The child is not being properly cared for
• The current environment is unsafe or harmful
• The mother/Boy B are unfit guardians

Without that, biology alone won’t win.

One subtle but important legal tension

There’s a conflict between:

• Truth (biological identity)
• Stability (existing emotional bonds)

Indian courts almost always resolve this in favor of stability—especially for young children.

Bottom line

• Boy A = biological father → gets a voice, not automatic custody
• Boy B = de facto father → strong practical advantage
• Child’s welfare → decisive factor

So in your scenario, custody will most likely remain with Boy B and the mother, while Boy A may be allowed to enter the child’s life gradually through court-regulated access.

Why are you two so obsessed with what DK gets????

He is not the Male lead of the show and Vik is genuinely innocent in this matter. Thats the loophole they wrote for him all along.

First of all, this is a TV show... itna technical detailing shayad hi aayega... neither is this a straight forward situation... if at all there is any marital contract exists... its between Mannat and Vik... remember your Gandharva vivah analogy Sadhika????

DK se koi rishta nahi hai as of today .. funnily DK se rishta as jeth or Duas uncle is through Vik... but if there is no connection to Vik then there is no connection to DK either 🤣🤣

It could be as stupid and simple as Mannat telling Dua ki hum bade papa ko bapa bolte the which you turned into Baba... 😜😜😜

Dua is a fictional kid and she will not question anything until it drives the story just like she is not questioning this Kumar-Saluja equation. 🤣🤣🤣

There can also be a fire at Indore house and birth certificate jal jayega with no copies... 😆😆😆

Malla could have forged Viks signature and submitted the divorce papers🙄🙄🙄 giving legitimacy to terrace wedding.

DK can die 🫣

Karne ko kuch bhi kar sakte hai 🤷🏻‍♀️

(Main unn PH lurkers ko ideas de rahi hun 😜)

Kaha tum dono itna seriously le rahe ho iss chij ko????

Now look at it from a completely different angle.

Agar Vik ko losing side pe dikhana hota to ye reveal aata hi nahi abhi. Indore gang would have gone back... DM might have formalized their wedding based on Ronnie suggestion and VY would have happened too...

That would be the situation where Vik loses completely...

As of today, since both are single (logically) and were married once (Muktas words not mine) ... they can still claim the terrace wedding. Or atleast Vik is in position to negotiate and find some option which works out for everyone.

There have been signs of DKs flip but his insecurities are getting triggered unnecessarily... doesnt fit why he is getting so hyper when Vik isnt even stopping them. His target should be Neetu not Vik. Vik to kuch kar hi nahi raha 🤷🏻‍♀️

The whole point of this reveal is to make Mannat and Dua stay back in Mumbai.

Both guys cant be angry and upset... so if DK is hyper Vik would be calm... which he is in BTS... he has learned his lesson and he will behave exactly opposite to what everyone expects him to do. Even agrees to hide from Dua. That would be his growth and redemption.

He will try to work out a middle ground while DK would be confrontational. If pre leap was to highlight DKs goodness... this situation would be to show Viks good side.

I still dont understand why he has filed custody if he had agreed to handle this soch samjh ke...

It could be some desperate measure to stop Mannat or someone else has done it on his behalf... as per Sandip it could be Neetu.

Isnt this similar to what I thought would happen few days back???

They will all stay together and Mannat Vik would try to show Dua how compatible They are to initiate her gradual acceptance????

Didn't like this tone of DK at all.

Mujhe ye Vik se jyada Mannat ke liye laga.... meaning usne aaj react nahi kiya... but she hasnt seen this side of DK either...

Usi se na padd jaaye

Pawan ne bola hai court ke bahar kisi ko thappad pada hai
