The biological parents and adoptive parents of the child had filed a petition before a trial court to declare the latter as the adoptive parents and guardians of the baby girl they had adopted. While the biological parents are Hindus, the adoptive parents of the baby girl are Muslims. Since appellant Muslim couple were childless and the biological parents were unable to look after the child due to poverty, they entered into the agreement. The agreement even states no money was exchanged for the adoption between the two parties.
