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.

but you forgot to add one important thing in prompt, that is it is in itv...hahaha

If you add that ,it goes like it

Boy B is not ML ,so if we give custody to boy B and girl A, they have no reason to live near boy B who is ML, so trp will drop ... thats why that option is cancel

If custody given to boy A, or joint custody to boy a and girl a, then ML and fl have to stay in single place, that is only one set, budget friendly ,and trp increase , so desicion made.

Whenever there is a plethora of interviews especially them together, 1,001% some HUGE jatka is coming our way.

I haven’t seen today’s episode either but I was told Bakshika suspects Naagin is hiding something was the synopsis.

Dua hating Mannat will be heartbreaking 💔. Kis dumb*ss d**key called this show “KHUSHI paane ki”?

Even the multi-episode case of CID I am watching isn’t this stressful 😥

Like someone wrote on X, “we watch shows to forget our real life. But what to do when the reel is way more toxic than real?”

Am I the only one in a different time zone than the rest of you? So much discussion happens when I am sleeping or busy or working.

And then I get confused trying to play catch-up 🤪😅

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.

That is exactly what I said too 😆

Coming to trust issues, I will again say ,I don't think he have trust issues...

Arre abhi dheko , Neetu is playing games, dk told that to mannath but she is not believing him or thinking Neetu is playing games, is that mean she have trust issues .... no....

@moor, even i am confused why he did custody case

That’s exactly what I have been saying. It’s not a surprise to me. In similar circumstances how will DK react? For Vikrant there was an overload of info on his wedding day. And ihis basic relationship of his parents was a lie!
he was justified for his anger. But he went too extreme.
DK knows everything and all relationships; nothing is new info. He now doesn’t want the status quo to change. How extreme will he go ?!

My personal issue with Viks characterization is that he is never shown having an independent thought process. He just processes the information given to him at that moment with whatever he feels is right... or where his emotions stand... and he doesnt ever introspect ki kya galat hua hai... ya koi aur version ho sakta hai.

This is my complaint since day one...

Also everyone always helps him out in whatever situations... like start koi aur karta hai... end Vik se karate hai and for that he is kept clueless most of the time..

This has happened time and time again... the only track where Vik was actively doing something was when he and Mannat were working together to expose Aish... that "aad main dushmani"....that was the only time a smart sleek sneaky businessman was seen.

Even now, Dua ka truth will come out because of Neetu... Vik hasnt done anything. He hasnt even tried to stop them even after patchup... he is fine if they go... no regret no frustration... no attempt to try and delay their departure....

I was hoping he would transfer property back to Ronnie so he stays... or offer Mannats shares back... but nothing.

Thats my gripe about the character....

And since he is the ML... mujhe sirf usse ye expectations hai... not DK nor anyone else....

I want to see a more active Vik like Mannat is... she gets misled too... but the moment she finds a clue her perspective shifts.

Preleap main Vik ka problem sirf iss vajah se hi hua tha...

His fans crib about Neetu drugging him.... Mannat ne ye expose episode 100 ke pehele kiya tha that Neetu gives him drugs.... and Vik himself later acknowledged to Neetu that the juice she gives him makes him faint ...

All he had to do was to get himself tested.... phir vahi pata chal jaata ki Neetu sahi hai ya Mannat... Mannat ko galat prove karne hi kar leta check... ye jo mandap main drama hua because of that mistake of Neetu ... vo kuch nahi hota....

And in that moment he did forget ki Mannat ne bataya iss drugging ke baare main...

Are you getting what I am trying to say.... I am not against his anger or his identity crisis... those are valid issued .. I was the only few who were supporting Vik pre leap when his memories resurfaced....

The problem is he never ever thought that there could be something else on why RoTu Mannat were hiding stuff from him... no introspection...

He chose to believe Vishs side of story because he had memories of that.... which even though the memories were right... presented only half a picture.

Till date we have not seen Vik question once who is original Vikrant Saluja... what happened to him or how he died... how did Neetu cause the accident... why was her trauma not addressed....

They just gloss over this and expect us to root for him just because he is ML...

I love Vik for the goodness of his heart and his overall nature where he has no ego, doesnt mind asking for apology when he realizes he is wrong ... but I expect some intelligence and active working of his mind as ML which I dont get to see and frustrates me...

Just in case its not clear... I am criticizing the writing here... Vikrants writing to be specific... nothing against Adnan...

For that matter...its only because of Adnan that Vik is still lovable ❤️

I am now confused if Vik has even filed the case... or it is someone else on his behalf .. either Neetu or Y... since in the BTS he seems to be ready to let Dua be happy where she wants to/DK.

The reason we all agree of not hating Vikrant despite his n number of flaws is purely Adnan. The man steals your heart and soul while performing.

Honestly I cried seeing that Duvik scene. It was so heartwrenching. And it's purely because of Adnan.

Surprise package is indeed Trisha too. Never thought that post Yamis exit this girl could pull it off. But she did and beautifully indeed. Her scenes with Adnan and Ayesha come so easily. Yami had more scenes with Manit and so they clicked too but Trisha had reasonably good sequences with Addy and so the equation could be felt. Also I am loving to see Addy playing a father's role to a daughter for the first time. Correct me if I am wrong here.. Ayesha ka sawal nahi hai. Her chemistry with Addy sparkles and with Trisha it gets adorable. Her scenes with Manit though as of now are coming as below average. Thats my opinion strictly.

Let's see tomorrow's episode , and hopefully it comes on hotstar at 6 am without any delay.

Addy's scenes with children come out as natural.

Even his scenes with that boy in Katha Ankahee used to be really good...
