Adoption in general is referred to as the legal process of becoming a non – biological parent, this transfers all the rights of a child from the biological parents to adoptive parents.

There were traditional practices carried out for adoption in Hindu law. This article also talks about a comparative analysis about adoption in Hindu, Muslim and Christian law.
