Top Court Warns Mother After Child Demands ₹1 Cr for Custody
A 12-year-old girl is caught in the middle of a fight between her parents over who gets to take care of her.
The girl told her father she wants a lot of money to live with him.
The judge was not happy and said the mother might be hurting the girl by doing this.
The dad wants to be able to see his daughter, but the mother is not letting him.
