Whether 'X' and 'Y' belong to Hindu Law?

Sushil Kumar Bhatia (Advocate)     08 November 2008

both 'x ' and 'Y' are Hindu

 Definetly not. X cannot simply rely on his own executed document as an evidence. Here, 'X' executed a document showing himself as adopted child without there being any proof of adoption.

definitely no. adoption deed is required to prove in the court that Y adopted the x if he is unable to subit  the adoption deed . x can not be eligible as successor of y. In the Hindu law, a hindu can not adopt  any child without the consent of his wife and the child whom is being taken as adoption should be not more than 16 year and age gape between  child and adopted parents should not be less than 15 years . in hindu law some adoption ritual is also be taken place in the presence of all the relative and friends alongwith adoption deed .
