Court Rules Social Media Influencer Mum's Unconventional Lifestyle No Grounds for Custody Denial
In a landmark decision, the Bombay High Court has rejected a father's plea to gain custody of his three-year-old daughter, citing that the mother's career as a social media influencer does not negatively impact the child's wellbeing. The court's ruling highlights the importance of considering a child's overall welfare, rather than making assumptions based on a parent's profession or lifestyle. As a social media influencer, the mother has demonstrated her ability to provide for her daughter's needs, and the court has recognised that her unconventional lifestyle is not a hindrance to her parenting capabilities. This decision sets a precedent for future cases, emphasizing the need for courts to consider the unique circumstances of each family. With the rise of social media influencing as a legitimate career path, this ruling also acknowledges the changing face of modern parenting and the importance of flexibility in family law. Key factors such as child welfare, parental responsibility, and social media influence were taken into account, resulting in a decision that prioritises the best interests of the child.
