In which of the following cases has the Supreme Court recognised the validity of adoption of a child, even by a Muslim ?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
Shabnam Hashmi vs. Union of India and others recognised access to the secular statutory adoption framework irrespective of religion, including for Muslims. Personal religious beliefs do not prevent a person from choosing that framework; statutory adoption is now governed by the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015.
