Under the Hindu Adoptions and Maintenance Act, 1956, which of the following is correct?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
Section 17(1) of the Hindu Adoptions and Maintenance Act prohibits "payment or other reward" as commercial consideration for an adoption. Registration or parental consent does not legalise such inducements, while Section 9(5)’s court-sanctioned-payment provision remains distinct from buying or selling an adoption.
