Dear Sir, Good Morning and Thanks for answering me. Still I need some clarification and help from you. 1> Sir, I have an intention to lead a normal life keeping in view the emotional and sentimental needs of the child, and therefore want to amicably settle the issue. Her mother, and she herself are quite adamant, arrogant and aggressive. These are issues, which hampers the normal routine and holds me back in taking certain decisions, as an husband. Now, I am ready to give it up on her, but at the same time, if she comes, okay, otherwise I need the child. I am planning to sit on " fast unto death " at her home and her mother' s office. What legal precautions, should I take. How would I deal with the police, if they interfere ?

The laws governing child custody in India are the Guardians and Wards Act 1890 and the Hindu Minority and Guardianship Act 1956. You would have to approach the court under these act by taking the services of an advocate in your vicinity.
For getting the custody of the child you would have to prove that you can take better care of the child when in your custody, though the matter of custody is primarily based on the facts presented to the court and the judge deciding it.
Thanks,
For custody of the child, if a child is under 5 years, the courts usually prefer to hand over custody to the mother, the primary question in focus for the court is keeping the child's welfare in mind; albeit in several Supreme Court judgments, there is no distinction as to whom the court should prefer in handing over the custody.
