Dear Experts,
My query is;
Mrs. X (a Hindu by religion) has married for the second time, on the demise of her first husband & She has got one child from her first husband. Whom the 2nd husband (also a Hindu by religion) has also accepted as their child.(No records for such acceptance)
Now my question is
As the child is to be admitted to the school in the coming years, whether her real father's name to be provided or is it her step father's name. which one is best suited as these records is going to affect in every step of this child's life as evidence of identity etc., Please guide me in this regard.
Thanks in advance.

Nw the step father has taken the position of real father, no need of following any procedure. Its ur duty to mention the step father name in all the things.

it is your choice to choose the name.
However,on a later date,when the child grows up,she may ask,why her biological father's name was not mentioned.

mahender! generally such question is not raised at any stage because everyone requires his social identification suited to him and if his step father provides his name to him then it is definitely in the interest of all concerned including such child.

Until unless child is adopted by step father. He can not be named as father of such child.
