       Que.: 
        I 
        am 18 Years old and would like to know the legal position concerning my 
        adoption as an orphan by my grandparents. What legal procedure should 
        be undertaken to prevent problems that might arise later on in life when 
        it comes to things like education and property? - P.Q. (Indore) 
        Ans.: 
        I am unable to deal with this question because you did not mention which 
        community you belong to, as different communities are ruled by different 
        personal laws in this country.  
      Que.: 
        I 
        am a 22-year-old Hindu girl. I am in love with my mother’s sister’s son, 
        a 24 year old who is a Christian from father’s side. We wish to marry 
        in the near future. What is the procedure? Can we marry in a registrar’s 
        office? - A.G. (Khargon) 
        Ans.: 
        Please go to the office of the registrar of marriages in your district 
        and get all the guidance about registering your marriage under the special 
        Marriage Act’. You have to give 30 days notice before you register your 
        marriage. If there is no registrar of Marriages in your district, find 
        out the govt. office, which is authorized to register marriages. Consult 
        a local lawyer about the validity of your marriage.
