A dramatic custody dispute has emerged after a Russian woman, Nina Kutina, was found living in a cave in the remote forests of Gokarna, Karnataka, with her two young daughters. Local authorities recently took Kutina into custody following her unconventional living situation.
Now, her former husband—an Israeli national—has come forward, seeking shared custody of their children who had been staying with her. He has reportedly reached out to both Indian and international authorities in an attempt to ensure the safety and well-being of the children.
The family’s unusual situation came to light when locals discovered the woman and children living in isolation, far from any modern amenities. Authorities were alerted, leading to Kutina’s detention and a subsequent review of the children’s condition and legal custody.
While officials have not disclosed all details due to the sensitive nature of the case, sources suggest that both parents are likely to be involved in upcoming legal proceedings regarding the custody and welfare of the children.
The incident has sparked discussions around parental rights, cross-national custody battles, and the role of child welfare in cases involving extreme lifestyles.
