Now my wife's younger sister has twin boys aged 5yrs now. and she is pregnant now and asking us to take this child and raise since we do not have kids at all. If we do not agree to this she will have to terminate her pregnancy.

I am very interested to read the legal document pertaing to this query to educate myself and be aware of the rules of the law.
Kindly advise.

Both of you can execute and register a deed of adoption.
Another option is to apply for permission from district judge.

Are you willing to adopt the unborn (after birth)baby?
If yes, engage a local lawyer to advise you properly in a professional manner, otherwise no one can force you to adopt the baby, your sister-in-law is blackmailing you and it is purly personal decision.
However, there is no obstacle/hastle in adoption.

How can you agree to adopt an unborn baby? It is for them to give birth to the baby or go for termination of pregnancy. If you are really interested to adopt the baby after birth, you can come to this forum at that time to know about the adoption procedure. You should not promise to adopt an unborn baby as you do not about the health of the prospective baby.

The adoption should be your decision, not out of compelling circumstances.

Adoption of a child cannot happen to a child which is yet to take birth. What is the guarantee of the child even if an agreement has been made in advance. Further, what rights your sister in law has on you to impose such emotional blackmails on you, is she taking an advantage over your weakness? or whether she took permission form you before she got impregnated? No assurances of any kind to be given now and do not budge to the family pressures or emotional/sentimental blackmails.
