14. The above facts would satisfy the requirements of a valid custom. The ruling of the Madras high Court reported in 1 Balusami Reddiar v. Balakrishna Reddiar is to the effect that the custom should not be opposed to decency or morality and should not be against public policy. The case dealt with by the Madras High Court (referred supra) pertains to a marriage between the man and his daughter's daughter. The said marriage was held to be against public policy. But, in the case on hand, the question of custom of obtaining divorce before the elders cannot be termed as being against public policy or being opposed to decency or morality. In the above ruling, it is the 1 AIR 1957 Madras 97 11 custom of marrying a grand daughter, which is held to be opposed to public policy. Obtaining divorce cannot be held to be opposed to public policy. The custom only created a separate forum for divorce.

7. Apart from that, there is evidence in the case that there is a custom in the community of adopting the daughter's son. D.Ws. 2 and 3 speak to that custom.

On the evidence on record we come to the conclusion that the custom of adopting the daughter's daughter's son is made out.
