A divorced single maternal aunt wanted to adopt the child of her sister. However, the District protection unit initially did not allow it on the grounds that she was a working woman. The district judge rejected the application, saying, "The prospective parent being a working lady, will not be able to give personal attention to the child per contra the biological parents would be in a better condition to take care of the child." Later, when their advocate approached the Bombay High Court, it set the observation aside that working women cannot adopt a child. If a similar condition applies to a single parent, the court wants to see if they are performing. However, it is contrary in this case. According to sub-section (2) of Section 56 of the JJ Act, The adoption of child from a relative, irrespective of their religion, is allowed. Afghanistan: Single Women, Widows Are Struggling To Find Their Next Meal Under Taliban Restrictions.
