DESCRIPTION
Laws on Adoption in Ancient India : A Study on Economic Status" deals with the institution of adoption in Ancient India. This is the only institution by which sonless persons gained a son and could protect his Family from all sides. The adopted sons obtained the Property right and could perform ritual rites for the adoptive Father and for his family. Thus the son gained social and Legal and economic status in the society. The adopted son lost their position in some places in a certain period, but he regained his lost rights because shastrakaras of ancient India discovered that it is adopted son who was born of a legally married Wife whereas most of other secondary sons who could be considered adopted son had no such kind of origin.
