Recently, the Delhi High Court said that an adulterous relationship coupled with deliberate neglect and conscious abdication of maternal obligation towards one's child can lead to denial of a child’s interim custody to a mother. The division bench of Justices Anil Kshetarpal and Harish Vaidyanathan Shankar passed the order and said, "We are of the considered opinion that, albeit the mere allegation or even proof of an adulterous liaison, cannot singularly constitute the determinative ground for grant or denial of custody of the child, yet when such conduct is viewed in conjunction with the contemporaneous acts of deliberate neglect and the conscious abdication of maternal obligations, the cumulative effect thereof justifies the course adopted by the learned family court."
