Private school forcing a child to get a specific hairstyle in India
<p>If a private school is a forcing a child to get a specific hairstyle, can it be considered as child rights violation in India? </p>

<p><strong>Update:</strong> The school authorities beat the child and humiliate him in front of the class. His parents are called and he's suspended for a day. </p>

<p>How is the school forcing the child?</p>

<p>If it's part of the uniform code then that is a condition of the contract between the school and the child's parents; a contract they freely entered into. If the parent's want the child to attend then they can force the child to have the haircut; or withdraw them from the school.</p>

<p>The parent's have every right to dictate how the child gets their hair cut.</p>
