In the Indian Law, details over child custody in case of divorce - marriage under Arya Samaj?

Answer 1

CHILD CUSTODY IS DEPENDS ON THAT WHO WILL CARE FOR THE CHILD WELL.

Answer 2

For any type of marriage, you have to go to a Court for divorce, through a professional serious advocate. See whether both of you need some councelling before coming to a conclusion. If nothing works out, there are two types of divorce under Hindu Marriage Law. 1. Dirvoce application from one of you (I dont remember that law). which takes much time more than three to four years. She will definitely ask for alimony or compensation. You will be directed to pay the fees of all kinds from your pocket to her. Court is sympathetic towards women in such cases. You have to prove through documentary evidences, on each and every thing as to why and how your wife is erring. many many things you will face and you will be dejected afterwards. It is a long proceeding. 2. Another Divorce is by mutual consent. In this both of you agree to become separate and ask for divorce. Here court will give six months time to both of you to reconcile. After the given period, one day will be fixed when your wife will be asked to take the bench and finally say she is not interested to continue her relationship with you. She already confesses that she needs nothing from you, except divorce, then the court will grant decree of divorce. If you are fortunate, if she agrees to this, your problem will be over in six months. Have you already married, as you are calling that woman, as your ex-wife in your question. If so, be careful, she may provide the evidence, when you will be sent to jail. When she attends to court herself, no problem. If she attend the court through a lawyer, he will certainly tutor her to ask all the compensation from you.

Answer 3

See a lawyer.

This is because it gets revised from time to time, and mainly based on the situations.

I am glad you said Arya Samaj. Do not forget to mention it to the lawyer, failing to do so, can automatically be considered a general civil law matters and you may loose the advantage, or he may point out the disadvantage and proceed with regular civil proceedings.

For people who are not familiar with the India laws. Here is some info.

Indians are governed by general, civil laws but when it comes to family matter they are governed by communal law of a particular community, the community here is Arya Samaj.
