Under the Hindu Adoptions and Maintenance Act, 1956 who among the following cannot be adopted:-
Answer: B
The person who cannot be adopted is an already adopted child.
Section 10 of the Hindu Adoptions and Maintenance Act, 1956 lays down who may be adopted: the person must be a Hindu, must not already have been adopted, must not be married (unless a custom permits it), and must not have completed fifteen years of age (again unless custom permits).
So being a Hindu, being a minor and being unmarried are all conditions that a child must satisfy, not grounds that bar adoption. A child who has already been adopted has passed into the adoptive family and cannot be adopted again, which is why that option is the answer.
