    1) The Supreme Court ruled that a Hindu adoption is not valid without the consent of the man's wife. 2) Two essential conditions for a valid Hindu adoption established in the Hindu Adoptions and Maintenance Act of 1956 are proof of consent from the wife and proof of an adoption ceremony where the child was formally given and accepted. 3) In this case, the appellant claiming to be adopted could not provide proof of either the wife's consent or an adoption ceremony, so the Supreme Court rejected her appeal.
