Thank you for your query. I am sorry to hear your condition. Please bear in mind that law is for everyone.

By virtue of being the mother, you are legally entitled to have custody of your daughter until she attains puberty and in such a case, your husband being the father of the daughter will be responsible for the maintenance of daughter. When your daughter becomes adult then your husband will be entitled to the custody of your daughter. However in any case husband and wife need to allow each other to see their child every now and then.

For further information please do not hesitate to contact me.
