A minor girl’s unequivocal desire to be with her father and not go to the United Kingdom with her mother weighed on the Supreme Court which granted the custody of the child to the man.

The apex court said the 15-year-old girl has “achieved sufficient level of maturity” and as she does not want to go to the UK, the court “cannot take the risk of sending” her to a foreign country against her wish.

“This court cannot take the risk of sending the child to a foreign country against the wishes of a mature girl like her, as it may prove to be a turbulent and tormenting experience for her. That would not be in her interest,” a bench of Justices A K Sikri and R K Agrawal said.
