A.Madras
B.Banaras
C.Avadh
D.Mithila

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: D

Kritrima adoption, in which a mature person is adopted by agreement and does not lose his tie with his natural family or his rights of inheritance there, was prevalent in Mithila and, to some extent, Malabar. It rested on the adoptee's consent, unlike the Dattaka form, in which a boy is given and taken with ceremonies. It is not associated with Madras, Banaras or Avadh, where the Dattaka form was the one followed. The answer is Mithila.

A.He or she must be a Hindu.
B.He or she must has not already been adopted.
C.He or she must consent to adoption.
D.He or she must has not completed the age of fifteen years, unless there is custom.

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: C

The statement that the person must consent to the adoption is not a condition under the Hindu Adoptions and Maintenance Act, 1956. Section 10 requires the person to be a Hindu, not already adopted, unmarried unless custom allows, and under fifteen years unless custom allows. A child cannot give consent, so consent of the adoptee is not a condition. Option C is therefore correct. The conditions on the person to be adopted are listed in Section 10: the person must be a Hindu, must not already have been adopted, must be unmarried unless custom allows, and must be under fifteen unless custom allows.
