As per the Hindu Adoptions and Maintenance Act, 1956, which of the following statement is false?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
For an adoption by a man of a girl, or by a woman of a boy, the Hindu Adoptions and Maintenance Act requires the adopter to be at least twenty-one years older. Eighteen years is therefore not the prescribed minimum age difference. General capacity to adopt remains subject to the Act's other conditions.
