A district court in Pankow, Germany, has denied the custody of 28 month old  Ariha Shah to her Indian biological parents and has instead handed the child over to a German youth services named Jugendamt.

The court rejected the application of Dhara and Bhavesh Shah to return the child either directly to them or to the Indian Welfare Services. The court instead awarded Ariha’s custody to Jugendamt. The court also observed that the parents are no longer authorised to decide on the whereabouts of the child.
The parents of Ariha initially filed for custody of the child but later requested that the child be given to the Indian Welfare Services. The court however, rejected the plea for custody to Ariha’s parents or the Indian Welfare Services. The reason for this rejection was the injuries the child had suffered on her head, back and a genital injury as well. The court wanted to avert any danger to the child. Therefore, it only granted visitation rights to the parents twice a month with accompanied contact.
