Age limit for taking adoption in Hindu family

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 12 July 2010 This query is : Resolved
“A” was one year baby in the year 1952 and was adopted by “B” (adopted mother) whose age was 17 years and whereas “C” (adopted father) was 21 years, at that time.

Is the adoption is legally valid or not? if so is there any apex court finding in this regard.

Age difference of the adoptive parents and child should be 21 years or more

As per Law the agse limit of child to be adopted is 15 years. A child who is to be adopted should be of 15 years or less. Adoption of a child whose age is more than 15 year is not adoptable. This Adoption is void ab initio. For further details u can call me at 9871158578

Yes the adoption does not seem to be legal because of no 1 years of gap between the adopted parent and the child.

a baby can be adopted by a person who must be 21 years older than the baby
