The separation of the parents, upon divorce, has led to serious contestations regarding the custody of the child. In the beginning of the 20t h century the father was invariably given the custody of the child. This practice has changed as the courts recognized the role of the mother as the primary caregiver of the family.

Leaving the child entirely to the mother or the father not only affects the child in a serious way but also burdens the parent who has to take provide for the child. In the recent years the courts have tried to lay more emphasis on the needs and interests of the child rather than the rights of the father or the mother.

The child is free to go to his/her father or mother, while they are in the custody of either of them. The responsibilities are also not given entirely to one parent but are shared by both the parents.

Earlier mothers used to be at a disadvantage as most of them were economically weak and educationally backward. Things have changed considerably with the women's rights movement gaining momentum in various parts of the world and a growing awareness among women regarding their right to vote, right to education, right to work, and in effect right over the child.
