Can husband adopt child, make will without wife’s consent?
If the wife continuously mentally tortures the husband, can the husband adopt a child from an adoption center without her consent? Can he make a will in favor of the adopted child? Can the wife challenge that will in court? How can the husband protect his will? The couple has no biological children, and the husband is extremely stressed about what will happen to his property after his death.
If the wife is mentally torturing the husband, he cannot adopt a child without her consent if they are Hindus, unless she is of unsound mind, has renounced the world, or is deceased. But if he is not a Hindu then he can adopt a male child only. However, he can make a will in favor of an adopted child. The wife can challenge the will, but if it's properly drafted, signed, and registered, it will usually stand. To protect the will, get a medical fitness certificate, register the will, and have two witnesses. For further assistance, contact our helpline.
