This query is : Resolved
Hello,
My name is Hussain. i am 25 years old. After my biological father death my mother got remarried to a hindu man. my stepfather is a gem of person and me along with my sister who is 24 years old are very close to him and vice versa. we are a happy strongly bonded family living together for last 10 years and none of us have changed our religion and do not wish to do it as well in future.
My Query is that there are no proper documentation in family my sister and my self have updated my biological father name in all the documents like educational certificates and identity certificates. Which i want to change name of father to my stepfather name in all the documents. whom do i approach in getting this done, will the different religion be a problem?
We were born in a city of Maharashtra, my biological father death took place in different city of Maharashtra (i did not make his death certificate), Now my entire family leaves in Karnataka.
The only document i have connecting the Family is a marriage certificate of my mother and stepfather.
Please help..

Dear Mr.Hussain,
Legally the name of your biological father should be mentioned in all your records. You cannot seek the change of biological father's name to step father, which is not permitted.

Yes, the name of your biological father can be substituted with your adoptive father anymore.

At this age you can not be adopted. Legally you can not change the name of your biological father.

if a hindu wants to adopt a child:-
(i) child should not be 15(1+)
(ii)should be hindu only.
adopting father should not have a child of same sex.
