(ii) Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 -- Custody and Visitation -- Compulsion of Effective Meeting Between Parent and Child -- Child cannot be treated as a commodity who can be compelled or forced into an effective meeting with a parent -- Bonding between a parent and child has to be developed through nurturing by the parent, and cannot be achieved by compulsion through a court order.
