Frequently Asked Questions
- Can custody be reinstated after revocation?
- Yes — if the ground for revocation is removed (the cause has ceased, custody conditions are met again). A reinstatement claim follows the same process.
- Does the mother's remarriage always revoke custody?
- Not automatically. It revokes only if the new husband is not the child's maḥram, under the legal order.
- Who gets custody after revocation?
- The next person in the legal order (maternal grandmother, then paternal grandmother, then father…) based on the child's best interest.
