she has to decide whether the child is to be given in adoption to her sister. In that case her sister and sister's husband are the parents who will admit him in school in thei name.

Muslim law doe snot allow adoption. But step son is recognized in that law. He will no more stepson of her new husband once adopted by another person.

Answer to Point 1: - She is allowed to give her boy in adoption without consent of her boyfriend, since even though he is biological father; their relationship was not subsisted as marriage hence not legal.
Section 11 in The Hindu Adoptions and Maintenance Act, 1956 will be applicable to such adoption.
Answer to Point 2: - She can add her muslim husband's name before adoption if consented by him. After adoption, the surname will be taken of adoptive family.
Answer to Point 3: - It is better to finish adoption formalities with consent of court to avoid any future issues.
Answer to Point 4: - It is better to take opinion of child if he is that age of maturity & understanding, otherwise apply the principle of "mother knows best".
Point no of 5 is already explained by expert - Mr. Sudhir.
Hope it serves the purpose.
