Handling child custody case as per our own law, Norway tells India

Ahead of its Ambassador's meeting with authorities in Norway involving the custody of a child of a Indo-Norwegian family, India made it clear that it wants the five-and-a-half year boy united with his natural parents. Taking a hard stance, External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj said she refuses to accept that foster parents can take better care of the child than natural parents. <br/><br/>Indian national Gurvinderjit Kaur and her husband, who is a Norwegian national, have alleged that authorities in that country have taken away their son, also a Norwegian national, on a frivolous complaint of abuse. This is the third case since 2011 when children have been taken away from their Indian-origin parents by the authorities in Norway on the grounds of abuse.
