Assume each child is raised solely in the mother's religious community and the Scheduled Tribe exception does not apply. Which child falls outside section 2 of the Hindu Adoptions and Maintenance Act, 1956?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
Section 2 covers Hindus, including Brahmo Samaj followers, and also covers Buddhists and Jains. If only one parent belongs to a covered religious community, the explanation covers a child brought up as a member of that parent's tribe, community, group or family. The child raised solely in the Christian mother's community falls outside the Act on these facts.
Option feedback
Option A
The Act covers a follower of the Brahmo Samaj. The child is raised in the covered parent's community.
Option B
The Act covers Buddhists. The child is raised in the covered parent's community.
Option C
The Act covers Jains. The child is raised in the covered parent's community.
Option D
The child is raised solely in the Christian mother's community, so the upbringing condition for coverage through the Hindu father is unsatisfied.
