A husband cannot adopt a child without the wife’s consent under Indian law. However, he can still make a will in favor of the adopted child. The wife can challenge it only if the will is proven to be forged, made under pressure, or if legal procedures weren’t followed. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
