Legally wedded wife has no right on child born out of husband with his mistress
Under Indian law, the legal wife has no automatic right to custody, visitation, or guardianship of the child born from her husband's extramarital affair. The child's natural and legal guardian is the biological mother. Since the legal wife shares no blood relation with the child, she cannot claim any legal entitlement over the child merely because her husband is the father.
However, in extraordinary circumstances—such as the biological mother becoming incapacitated or passing away—the legal wife could potentially approach the court as a third-party applicant for guardianship. Even then, the court would only consider it if deemed strictly in the "best interest of the child," and such petitions are rarely granted. Unless the mother is unfit, the wife has no legal standing to seek custody or visitation.
