The case of Suman Sharma vs. M.L. Sharma, heard by the Delhi High Court, is a significant family law case in India that addresses crucial issues of child custody and divorce. This landmark decision challenged traditional notions of
custody rights and emphasized the paramount importance of the child’s welfare in custody disputes.
The case highlights the evolving judicial approach in India, where courts are increasingly focusing on the best interests of the child rather than gender-based presumptions when determining custody arrangements.
