Legal Guardian Kya Hota Hai? Zarurat Kyon Padti Hai?

Legal Guardian ek aisa vyakti ya institution hota hai jise Court officially appoint karta hai taaki woh ek minor (18 saal se chhota) ke behalf par decision le sake – education, health, finance, aur legal matters mein.

Kaha Zaroori Hai Guardian Appoint Karna?

• Jab biological parents nahi rahe (death)
• Jab parents incapacitated hain (serious illness, coma)
• Jab parents overseas hain aur child India mein reh raha hai
• Jab property ke legal transactions manage karne hote hain

Example: Ravi aur Meera, dono NRI hain. Unka 10 saal ka beta India mein grandparents ke saath rehta hai. Ravi-Meera ne apne bacche ke guardianship ke liye Court me petition file kiya taaki grandparents legal guardian ban sake.

Types of Guardianship (Naye Classification ke Saath)

1. Natural Guardian:
   • Father (Primary)
   • Mother (After father’s death or incapacity)
2. Testamentary Guardian:
   • Will ke through appoint hota hai (parents apne will me specify karte hain)
3. Court-Appointed Guardian:
   • Jab natural ya testamentary guardian available nahi hote

Example: Suman apni will mein likhti hain ki agar unko kuch ho jaye to unki behen Anjali unki beti ka guardian bane. Court is testamentary guardian ko validate karega.

Guardianship vs Custody vs Adoption
