Christian Law of Adoption in India - Conclusion

Conclusion

The right of adoption for Christians in India has come to be judicially recognised, but it has to be pleaded and proved on the facts of each case. In the absence of a customary adoption recognized by court or adoption orders obtained under the provisions of the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act 2006, the foster children will not be treated in law as children and upon the death of the foster parents their estate would be distributed among the legal heirs of the intestate as the foster child or children do not have any right of succession.

Famous quotes containing the word conclusion:

    I have come to the conclusion that the closer people are to what may be called the front lines of government ... the easier it is to see the immediate underbrush, the individual tree trunks of the moment, and to forget the nobility the usefulness and the wide extent of the forest itself.... They forget that politics after all is only an instrument through which to achieve Government.
    Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)

    So this
    Is man; so—what better conclusion is there—
    The day will not follow night, and the heart
    Of man has a little dignity, but less patience
    Than a wolf’s,
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    We must not leap to the fatalistic conclusion that we are stuck with the conceptual scheme that we grew up in. We can change it, bit by bit, plank by plank, though meanwhile there is nothing to carry us along but the evolving conceptual scheme itself. The philosopher’s task was well compared by Neurath to that of a mariner who must rebuild his ship on the open sea.
    Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
