Validity Of Child Witness In Matrimonial Dispute

In India, anyone who’s seen something can be a witness, including children. The court makes sure the child understands questions and can answer sensibly. But just like any other witness, their stories need to be checked well. Sometimes, courts worry if a child’s story might be changed by someone or if they didn’t understand things properly. So, they ask the child questions to see if they understand well enough to tell the truth. This is called a “voir dire” test.
