Adopting a newborn directly from a friend in India is not legally permitted. The process requires involvement of a recognized adoption agency or court. Adoption of an unborn baby is also not legally permissible in India.

My wife and her father tried several times to get my father’s property registered in our child’s name. When they didn’t succeed, she left our home nine months ago. I’ve tried contacting her, but she’s ignoring me. Even for our child’s birthday, I invited her, but she didn’t respond. I miss my child terribly and my life has been very difficult since. What legal steps can I take to see my child? I’d be very grateful for any advice.

My husband and I, from different parts of India, got married in 2010. After our wedding, we moved to Bangalore where our child was born in 2012. Sadly, things haven’t been easy. My husband’s behaviour has been very hurtful, and I’ve been living with my parents in Raipur for the past few years. Despite the challenges, he continues to provide financial support for our child and me. However, the emotional abuse and violence have become unbearable. Last November, he came to Raipur and physically hurt me. Since then, we haven’t spoken. I am worried about my 4-year-old son’s future. I was working before marriage but had to leave my job after our son’s birth. If we were to separate, what would happen to my son? He is my world, and I can’t imagine losing him. Please guide me on what my options are in this situation.

I’m curious about the legal aspects of this deal, like the agreement, verifying ownership, checking for approvals, and if there are any ongoing legal disputes. Since the builder isn’t involved, should I go ahead and book with the landowner?
