ABSTRACT
A parent-child relationship can be created between unrelated people through the legal process of adoption. All rights granted to a natural-born child also apply to adopted children. Adopted children are also entitled to inheritance. The legal process of becoming a non-biological parent is the term commonly used to describe it. Accepting with approval is the act of adoption. The adopted son's relationship with the previous family ends at that point, as he is considered to have been born into the new family and gains rights, responsibilities, and status there exclusively.
This article will define adoption, discuss how adoption developed in antiquity and the 19th century, and discuss Indian laws about child adoption, including statutes, enactments, rulings, and decisions, as well as adoption practices within Indian religions.
The laws governing adoption under Hindu law will be the primary focus of this essay. The Hindu Adoption and Maintenance Act of 1956, the Guardianship and Wards Act of 1980, and the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act of 2000 will also be highlighted.
