law: Special Marriage Act, 1954 
  38. Custody of children
  In any proceeding
  
  under Chapter V or Chapter VI the district court may, from time to time, pass
  
  such interim orders and make such provisions in the decree as it may seem to it
  
  to be just and proper with respect to the custody, maintenance and education of
  
  minor children, consistently with their wishes wherever possible, and may,
  
  after the decree, upon application by petition for the purpose, make, revoke,
  
  suspend or vary, from time to time, all such orders and provisions with respect
  
  to the custody, maintenance and education of such children as might have been
  
  made by such decree or interim orders in case the proceeding for obtaining such
  
  decree were still pending.
