It&#8217;s a cultural question involving the ways of life, which custom the child is accustomed to. It is also the question of sovereignty of two countries,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Inaugurating the &#8216;All India Seminar&#8217; organised by the International Law Association here, Justice Khehar called upon the government to make a comprehensive law as children are the future of the nation and protection of their physical, mental and moral health cannot be compromised due to matrimonial disputes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Parental clash in families are bound to hit children.<\/p>\n<p>When matrimonial disputes change to child-custody battle, the child concerned is in a serious stress.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When it transcends national boundaries, the welfare of the child suffers. The legal battle gets entangled in sovereign laws of the nations concerned,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Either there has to be a complete legislation to deal with such case or India should decide to be a signatory to the Hague Convention of 1980, &#8220;because child rights are vital and they are in a flux&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>The Hague Convention of October 1980 on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction is a multilateral treaty, which seeks to protect children from the harmful effects of abduction and retention across international boundaries by providing a procedure to bring about their prompt return.<\/p>\n<p>Supreme Court judge A K Sikri, who spoke prior to the CJI, also highlighted the need of a law on the issue.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is not easy to decide the custody of a child. It becomes more difficult when we have to decide while granting custody and one of the parent is abroad. The visitation right granted to that parent abroad will be difficult,&#8221; Justice Sikri said.<\/p>\n<p>He said that cross-border insolvency solutions must be there.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There should be a synergy of laws. An MNC may go insolvent in one country and has jurisdiction in almost all other countries. It will be difficult if laws are not uniform,&#8221; Justice Sikri said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0Intense custody battles in courts between estranged spouses transcending national boundaries cause children &#8220;immense mental stress&#8221;, necessitating a law on inter-country child custody cases, Chief Justice of India J S Khehar said today. &#8220;The only question is to give custody to which parent.
