The 48-year-old pop singer and her husband, Guy Ritchie, were granted interim custody of David Banda. How will their case going in th high court?
November 14, 2006 (Press Release) --
LILONGWE, Malawi -- Malawi's High Court said it will rule next week on whether a coalition of human rights and child advocacy groups should help decide whether Madonna is fit to adopt a 13-month-old boy.
Justice Andrew Nyirenda said Monday he will rule Nov. 20 on whether to admit the 67-member coalition, which includes the state-run Malawi Human Rights Commission, as a party in the adoption proceedings. The coalition maintains the proceedings have been irregular.
Madonna says she has met all the country's requirements for adopting the toddler, and David's father, Yohane Banda, has said the human rights group's lawsuit threatens his son's future.
The 48-year-old pop singer and her husband, British filmmaker Guy Ritchie, were granted interim custody of David Banda by a High Court judge on Oct. 12. Malawi regulations stipulate an 18- to 24-month assessment period be spent in Malawi, but the couple were allowed to take David to their London home.
''We want to be joined as a party to the assessment because we have a lot of legal issues we want to raise,'' said Justin Dzonzi, chairman of the coalition known as the Human Rights Consultative Committee.
