You would have to obtain the consent of the biological father In case of a divorce the rights of the child remain as it is unless otherwise provided by the court in the divorce decree In your case it is essential to derive an authorisation in the form of affidavit before 1st class magistrate abandoning the rights of the biological father over his child
