Adoption of grand child by maternal grandparents

Hi
Yes.

The Hindu law places stringent conditions and prohibits adoption of a child of the same gender where an adoptive father or mother already have a child living at that time
Example:

1) if any adoption is of a son, the adoptive father or mother by whom the adoption is made must not have a Hindu son, son's son or son's son's son(whether by legitimate blood relationship or by adoption) living at the time of
adoption;

2) the child to be adopted must be actually given and taken in adoption by the parents or guardian concerned or under their authority with intent to transfer the child from the family of its birth or in the case of an abandoned child or a
child whose parentage is not known, from the place or family where it has been brought up to the family of its adoption.

ADOPTION SHOULD BE REGISTERED.

Hello,

There is no legal bar for maternal Hindu grandparents adopting the son of their daughter when the biological parents of the child are ready to give him in adoption and when the adoptive parents are in a sound mind and not restrained from any court order or any incapacity to adopt as the case may be to take the grandson in adoption. Prepare an adoption deed with all the terms and conditions, carry out signing formalities and get it registered in the concerned sub-registrar's office.
