Section - 6. Requisites of a valid adoption

---

No adoption shall be valid unless-
 (i) the person adopting has the capacity, and also the right, to take in adoption;
 (ii) the person giving in adoption has the capacity to do so;
 (iii) the person adopted is capable of being taken in adoption; and
 (iv) the adoption is made in compliance with the other conditions mentioned in this Chapter.

COMMENTS
Where any of the requirements as laid down under s.6 are not strictly observed, that non-observance of the requisite or requisites is enough to convert the adoption as invalid one.-Dhanraj v. Suraj Bai 1972 Raj LW

Doctrine of factum valet does not have its application in case the adoption is against what is said by the provisions of the Hindu Adoption and Maintenance Act, 1956-Lalla Ram v. Gohri Ram 1972 All WR (HC)
