The couple had argued that they were waiting for an official Hindu naming ceremony as per their religious beliefs but Justice Parker said the decision not to give the boy a name could be ‘emotionally harmful’.
On Friday, the Hertfordshire-based couple were told they could challenge the decision in the Court of Appeal.
Justice Ryder ruled that the baby and his two-year-old brother should not be placed for adoption until the couple had aired their grievances to three appeal judges.
‘Our (Hindu) religion means that we have to have a naming ceremony. They took the baby from us before we could do that. If the baby had been left with us he would have been given a name,’ the mother said a daily newspaper.
Justice Parker, who sits in the Family Division of the High Court, had highlighted concerns about the father’s hostility to social workers.
