Which of the following is not an essential for a female Hindu to adopt a child ?
Answer: D
The consent of her parents is not required.
Under section 8 of the Hindu Adoptions and Maintenance Act, 1956 (as amended in 2010), any female Hindu who is of sound mind and is not a minor may adopt a son or daughter. If she is married, she needs her husband's consent, unless he has renounced the world, ceased to be a Hindu or been declared of unsound mind.
So soundness of mind, majority and (for a married woman) the husband's consent are all conditions, but the consent of her parents is not.
