The minor (boy) from previous marriage of your present (second) wife is stated to be living with you for the last 3 years without adoption, wherein she is behaving unruly with the boy , in such circumstances you may apply and obtain guardianship of the boy, if you have sypathy with him (minor).
However, you are not/ cannot become biological father of the boy.
T. Kalaiselvan, Advocate (Advocate) 28 February 2026
You have no rights or legal interests over your step child hence any such proposal to seek legal interference in this regard will not be legally maintainable.

Thanks for reply.
I cannot adopt his boy nor I am eligible to take custody of her minor son. My only intention is to pray in the Family court that custody should be given to his biological father only Not sure if this possible, not sure if I am eligible to file such petition.

You have been clearly explained about the law in this regard, you as a step father will not be entertained by court hence better understand the law or discuss with your advocate properly before concluding on your hasty decision.

You have adequately been obliged by experts.
In order to seek further clarification/ advise on the issue, it would be better to contact, consult and engage a local prudent lawyer for proper appreciation of facts/documents, professional advise and necessary proceeding.
