Answer is Wrong!
Answer is Right!
The correct answer is (a). A Hindu wife can adopt a boy and a girl simultaneously without the consent of her husband. This is because the
Hindu Adoptions and Maintenance Act, 1956, does not require the consent of the husband for a Hindu wife to adopt a child. The Act only requires the consent of the wife and the child’s guardian, if any.Option (b) is incorrect because the Act does not require the consent of the husband for a Hindu wife to adopt a child.
Option (c) is incorrect because a Hindu wife can adopt a child, including a boy and a girl.
Option (d) is incorrect because the Act does not require the consent of the husband for a Hindu wife to adopt a child.
