mother is entitled to custody till 5 years of age. till then you may get visitation rights. thereafter you may apply for custody showing that you can do better welfare of the child.
you can't get his custody till his 5 birth day. there after you may ask to the cour for the same. and if u prove that you can give him a better welfare then mother. court may pass such order to give his custody 2 you.
