Hindu Adoption Act Sections Explained
This solution examines the statements related to the Hindu Adoption and Maintenance Act 1956 to identify the correct option.
Statement (a): Section 7 Capacity
Section 7 of the Act clearly states the capacity of a male Hindu to take a child in adoption. Therefore, statement (a) is accurate.
Statement (c): Section 12 Effect of Adoption
Section 12 details the legal consequences, or the effect of adoption, defining the relationship between the adopted child and the adoptive parents, and the severance from the natural family. Thus, statement (c) is accurate.
Evaluating Statements (b) and (d)
Statement (b) touches upon Section 13, which indeed concerns the non-cancellation of valid adoptions. Statement (d) incorrectly attributes property disposal rights to Section 15; this section focuses on the inability to cancel a valid adoption.
Given that statements (a) and (c) provide correct descriptions of Sections 7 and 12, respectively, and Option A contains precisely these two statements, Option A is the correct choice.
Conclusion
Based on the factual accuracy of statements (a) and (c) concerning key provisions of the Hindu Adoption and Maintenance Act 1956, Option A is the correct answer.
