Even in India, which holds seperate Muslim Personal Laws, meaning Laws based on religiouis beliefs, the Muslim Personal Law Board will always grant custody to the father. and having poor character or not being 'nice' is certainly not grounds for denial of custody or visitation rights.

the fact of the matter is, that the sexist courts in the west are stacked against men. The sexist biased laws, are stacked against Men. How many men have gone to jail for killing thier kids or killing thier wives, only to be proven innocent thanks to DNA evidence? plenty. but the law says that if a wife or child is found dead, the law will automatically assume that the husband or father is the killer, even if he is innocent. you see under america's sexist laws, a male is guilty until proven innocent.

Absolutely, there are always minor cases which don't fit into laws of the land. In any case, i think both parents should encourage their children to stay with whichever parent they like for a length of time.
