Hindu adoptions and maintenance act (1956)

The HAMA has no variation wrt to the nationality of the person as long as they are Hindus . If you are looking to adopt a child who is not an Indian , then the principles of private international law shall apply

Thank you Augustine sir. Does this mean, if the NRI couple are Hindus (of course also Indian citizens living abroad) and child living in India is Hindu and they all satisfy HAMA rules (like age gap between adoptive parents and child, having child of same gender, ...etc), they can adopt?

 

If a husband is a vagabond actively moving with antisocial elements and involved in thefts, such as snatching gold chains from women and caught red-handed by the police multiple times, is there any way for his wife to restrain her husband from selling his ancestral properties legally?
