Which of the following is not an essential for a female Hindu to adopt a child?

Consent of her parents is not required for a female Hindu to adopt a child. Under Section 8 of the Hindu Adoptions and Maintenance Act, 1956 (as amended by the Personal Laws (Amendment) Act, 2010), any female Hindu who is of sound mind and is not a minor (i.e., has attained the age of majority) has the capacity to take a son or daughter in adoption. Under the proviso to Section 8, if she has a living husband, she cannot adopt a child without the consent of her husband unless he has completely and finally renounced the world, has ceased to be a Hindu, or has been declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be of unsound mind.
