Oh, ok, custody basically means guardianship. If a parent has legal "custody" of a child, it means that the court has given that parent guardianship of that child and usually the other parent canīt take the child, or is only allowed limited time with him.

Edited to Add: In Lebanon, a husband can prevent his wife and children from leaving the country no matter what their nationality is. Child custody matters are usually decided by a religious court, so if the husband and wife have different religions, the children are usually awarded to the father depending on their age. Unfortunately itīs usually the man who wins these custody cases.
