dear client...
He can not claim any right for the baby... if he torturs you file a police complain against him...
You may initiate criminal proceedings against him if he forces you to give away the child. You may contact a lawyer who will guide you in how to protect the custody of your child and how you can prevent him from affecting your life further.
