Father or mother to retain the custody of minor

 (PLD 2003 Supreme Court 877) that

“The primary consideration for determining the question of custody is always the welfare of the minor and there could not be an absolute rule and fixed criteria to determine the question of welfare in the same manner in each case rather it being a mixed question of law and fact is decided in the facts of each case and consequently the factors having only social importance or the desirability of the father or mother to retain the custody of minor, would not overwrite the consideration of welfare in determining the question of custody.”
