Question 16
16. In 2021, Kynan was born to live-in partners Popoy and Basha. After a
year, Popoy and Basha parted ways due to irreconcilable differences.
Basha worked as a market vendor to support Kynan and often left him in
the care of his maternal grandmother. Popoy occasionally sent money for
Kynan’s needs. Later, Basha had a discreet romantic affair with her best
friend Helen. In 2024, Popoy filed a case for the sole custody of Kynan
and alleged that Basha is an unfit mother. Popoy argued that Basha’s
lesbian relationship is not conducive to the proper moral development of
Kynan. Basha countered that she is able to take care of and provide for
Kynan despite her meager income. Are there compelling reasons to
deprive Basha of Kynan’s custody? Explain.
