Adoptation - My parents want to adopt a girl age
1 year ago
My parents want to adopt a girl age 25+ , she has been taken care by my parents from her early child good as her parents were separated. She has a consent even my parents want to adopt her. Is it legally possible to adopt at this age ?
A.In India, the legal age for adoption is 18 years. However, there is no upper age limit for adoption, and it is possible for adults to be adopted if both the adopter and the adopted person consent to the adoption.
If the girl you mentioned is above the age of 18 and is willing to be adopted by your parents, they can file a petition for adoption under the Hindu Adoption and Maintenance Act, 1956. The Act provides for the adoption of children as well as adults, provided certain conditions are met.
Some of the conditions that need to be fulfilled for an adult adoption under the Act include:
Both the adopter and the adopted person must be Hindus.
The adopter must be at least 21 years older than the adopted person.
The adopted person must be of sound mind and capable of understanding the nature and consequences of the adoption.
There may be additional requirements depending on the personal laws of the parties involved. It's advisable to consult a lawyer who specializes in family law to understand the legal process and requirements for adult adoption and to ensure that all legal formalities are completed correctly.
thank you
