Raja MUHAMMAD OWAIS VS Mst. NAZIA JABEEN Ss. 17 & 25---Custody of children---Welfare of child---Scope---Factors to be considered by the Court---Court's jurisdiction in custody cases is in the form of parental jurisdiction which means that the court must consider all factors from the parents' ability to provide for the child including physical and emotional needs, medical care but also relevant is the parents' ability to provide a safe and secure home where the quality of the relationship between the child and each parent is comforting for the child---Hence, there is no mathematical formula to calculate the welfare of the minor, as the factors range from financial and economic considerations to the household environment, the care, comfort and attention that a child gets---Accordingly, the concept of welfare of the child is an all encompassing concept which will cover not only the manner in which the child has to be cared for but will also include the physical, mental and emotional wellbeing of the child.
