What is in a Name...

What goes wrong in a relationship is often hard to define. Couples swearing to the core of their hearts to remain loyal and truthful and also to support each other in hard times , suddenly become the enemies of life.....Even they forget the intimate moments they have spend with each other....It is not only hard but also difficult for both the husband as well as the wife. 

But I feel the children out of these wedlocks suffer the most....specially if the child's custody has been given to the mother.....Unfortunately decision making authorities of India have often ignored this issue.

Today in a daily newspaper a journalist has reported that the Mumbai High court has ruled that divorced women cannot use their ex - husband's name...Since there is a chance of misusing it....but how come the noble authority has not ruled anything for the children out of such wedlock....

"What is the name of your father ?" often a child is asked this question. Not only that , he or she is asked to use father's surname as his also.... In such a case should the mother use her maiden surname only? I think the High court should specify this also along with this ruling.....

What do you say?....

  1. yes..rightly said..ruling should also cover the fact that no one should ask the child about his father, in case of failed marriages...the entire perspective should be taken into consideration with the child in focus, as , its him who suffers the most...!

  2. THANKS A LOT FOR VISITING MY BLOG AND FOR YOUR LOVELY COMMENT. YOU ARE WELCOME IN MY OTHER BLOGS TOO.
    I APPRECIATE FOR YOUR WONDERFUL AND THOUGHTFUL POST. ITS VERY VERY PAINFUL FOR THE CHILD WHEN SOMEBODY ASKS ABOUT HIS/HER FATHER WHEN FATHER DOES NOT LIVE TOGETHER/DIVORCED/SEPARATED.
