status of mother- post adoption of daughter

Rajesh Tandon (Querist) 29 January 2013 This query is : Resolved
1.I'm writing to you in connection with a query about status of a widow who adopted a girl as a daughter. Subsequently the girl got married and staying separately from mother. In Army, the various rule positions pertaining to different kind of pensions is as under:-
(a)If a widow gets an award of special family pension or a liberalised family pension she can continue to draw this pension even after her remarriage.
(b)However, if she draws ordinary family pension she is not entitled to continue the same after her remarriage.
(c)In addition a childless widow can continue getting her pension even after remarriage.

2. In the present case, what is the legal status of the widow for the purpose of continuation of family pension if the widow gets remarried?

3. After having adopted the daughter, what is her status in the eyes of the law? Would she be considered as childless widow or considered as a woman with the daughter and no more entitled for status of childless widow for continuation of family pension though she adopted the daughter but she did not give birth to the daughter.

4. Request guide on the legal aspect of the query.
