Imperfect Indian Laws: Grand parents have no legal rights to visit grand children

Imperfect Indian Laws: Grand parents have no legal rights to visit grand children.

We know that our laws are very imperfect. I see no institution in India or any NGO dedicated to work of grooming up laws as per needs of rapidly changing world.


One such flaw is regarding rights of Grand Parents to visit grand children.

If husband and wife have quarrels, they do battle for custody of child under various laws.

But so far as grand parents are concerned, they do not seem to have any legal right specifically granted to them under law to visit children.
