Abstract
The lacunas and inadequacies present in the provisions with respect to a child's custody in Pakistan are featured in this research paper. It contends that flaws existing in the Guardian and Wards Act of 1890 provide the domestic courts to practice vast discretionary powers while entertaining the litigations related to custody of children, in this manner prompting contrary judgments. This paper contains the perusal of the provisions of the Act of 1890, and the judicial precedents, for the purpose of identifying loopholes and deficiencies. Besides, it also includes what other Islamic and Western developed countries give rights to the children in this matter. Some particular arrangements are proposed to harmonize existing fragmented practices. Other than this, some laws and remedies are proposed, which other developed countries of the world provide, to fill the lacunas and loopholes in the provisions of the Act of 1890 for the wellbeing of children.
