In most cases, a mother has a strong chance of getting custody of her child under the age of 5 in Pakistan. Family courts usually consider the child’s welfare first, and for younger children, especially under 5, the law tends to favor the mother — unless there are serious concerns about her ability to care for the child.
That said, every case is unique. If you're dealing with a custody issue, it's best to get proper legal advice.
