Conditions for a Child Being Considered Hindu

A child's religious identity as Hindu can be determined by several factors, primarily focusing on the parents' religion and the child's upbringing. Based on common interpretations of personal laws:

• Option (d) Both parents are Hindu: If both parents follow the Hindu religion, the child is generally considered Hindu by birth.
• Option (a) Only one parent is a Hindu and the child was brought up as a Hindu: In cases where only one parent is Hindu, the child is considered Hindu if they are raised and educated in the Hindu faith. The upbringing plays a crucial role in determining religious identity.
• Option (c) If after the birth of child, father converts to non - Hindu religion: The conversion of one parent (like the father) to a non-Hindu religion after the child's birth does not automatically change the child's religion. The child's Hindu status typically persists if the mother is Hindu or if the child continues to be raised as a Hindu.

Conditions Not Leading to Hindu Status

Option (b) Only one parent is a Hindu and the child was not brought up as a Hindu: If only one parent is Hindu but the child is not raised according to Hindu customs and beliefs, the child may not be considered Hindu by religion.

Conclusion

Considering the conditions where a child can be Hindu, options (a), (c), and (d) are valid. Option (b) is invalid because the lack of Hindu upbringing negates the possibility even with one Hindu parent.

Therefore, the correct combination is (a), (c), and (d) only.
