Who is the natural guardian of a married girl?

Section 6(c) of the Hindu Minority and Guardianship Act, 1956 provides that the natural guardian of a minor married girl is "her husband". The father, and after him the mother, are natural guardians of an unmarried minor under section 6(a), and a father-in-law is not a natural guardian at all. In every case the welfare of the minor is the paramount consideration under section 13.
