Sh. Prabhakar a very good high moral ground remark your kindself raised here and my take are as follows;
To your "How is it that my learned friends are not asking Mr. Satnam that once his parents dispossessed him and gave a news paper advertisement and also filed a case against him for permanent dispossession of property, why is he worrying about his old parents? Is it hoodwinking the courts? Is there no detachment between him and his parents?"
Now my takes :-
On "Is it hoodwinking the courts?"
Yes he is hoodwinking the Court on the advise he received from a pleader(s) of the very Court otherwise it is not meant to be happening that way in regular life. Why because, no layman or say a husband knows Laws and modalities of 4 steps that undergoes into putting a paper advertisement of disowning is known to a street side husband and I further doubt a Indian husband knows such things by birth unless and until advised by a pleader(s) of the very Court or having read in various forums whereby I mean to say this is result of a legal advise for self preservation and for family protection (yes I hv justified why he did it probably in this last sentence and not ashamed to admit it too!).
On "Is there no detachment between him and his parents?"
Yes, there is no detachment between him and his parents, because it is the parents who have disowned their son and not the other way round here as per briefs so he can't remain detached to such happenings, can he meant to do so !.
On "How my learned friends are not telling Mr. Satnam Singh, jobless, that till the age of 5 the natural guardian is "mother" and keeping the child away from the mother is sin?"
Your kindself advising that it is sin to keep away a child till 5 years from mother is biologically / emotionally not acceptable to either parents but irony of advising that a child can be away from father is Ok irrespective of the facts and mixed point of law itself shows that a father's role is only limited to be just a seed giver and he has no rights to nurture his own sapling till this sapling becomes above 5 years old is against the principal of natural justice for both parents.
On "Are the women only misusing the laws?"
Yes, 'women' FIRST misuse the same Law which has been specially tailor-made for their protection to settle scores on behest of advise from pleader(s) of the Court / relatives and peer groups and then 'men' rebut using strategic tactics received from their side of pleader(s) of Court and also further advise received from various forums to come out of these grave gender injustice laws.
My suggestion here in this sentence take is to replace women / man with gender neutral word "spouse" because genesis of this comment probably is based on this months highest viewed family post in LCI forum and is fresh in colly. memories and indirectly refers to Mr. Satnam's, jobless post as his fault is that he is a husband here.
I have not gravely justified either spouse here for my convenience sake and ld. members may have their individual opinion on my above takes as they please but fact of the matter as personal experience of what I personally feelt / see around with wide open eyes / experience around with persons in contact pan India will not change so to speak unless and until gender neutral Laws are made for common spouse consumption / present gender injustice laws are amended.
But, your kind take is noted and respected too by me so to speak and this reply is not a direct remark to your goodself hence kindly don't take it as personal as I speak here personally from my own experience and I still have many streets to ride at the end of the day ...........
Rgds.
