She can very well claim custody of her children through Court of Law as she in better position to care of the minors. The Court takes into consideration the welfare of the minors.

Mother being natural guardian can have custody of the children. Courts while considering custody of minor children see welfare and interest of the children and their well being. She can claim custody under Guardian and wards Act or if both parents are Hindu, she can approach Hindu guardianship Act,1956.

no sir,
father is always a natural gurdian after a specific age i.e-5 yr,
however it is not prooved in the court that father is unable to do careing of childrans.
why mother marriage to her husband when he was sick or sits at home it is not justify after ten year of marriage ,why she not complaint just after marrige or just after when her husband start misunderstanding?
there some thing wrong with quarey.i thing she is unable to take custody of childran.

Court generally consider the aspect looking to the welfare of child, but she has to prove that she is in the better/financially sound then her husband.

mother can take the custody of children whn father doesnt care for them, though a legal guardian, it is the welfare of the children which is paramount. u can see githa hariahran's case in this regard.
