Sir i know a muslim woman who was divorced because she could not bear a child. Now I want to know can she adopt a child and live as single parent
A.Dear client,
Ideally, the Muslim personal law doesn't allow a single woman to adopt a child. However, you she do so under the Juvenile Justice Act, 2000. The JJ Act, 2000 is a secular law enabling any person, irrespective of the religion he professes, to take a child in adoption. It is akin to the Special Marriage Act 1954, which enables any person living in India to get married under that Act, irrespective of the religion he follows
