If the father abandoned the child before birth, his right to claim custody later is not automatic. In Pakistan, the welfare of the child is the primary concern, and courts consider the father’s past conduct and current capacity to care.
As for the birth certificate, including the father's name is not mandatory unless he acknowledges paternity or the court orders it.
Every case is unique, and your rights matter.
