Explanation

If a married male has a wife living, he shall not adopt except with the consent of his wife whether she is living with him or not. If a married male has more than one wife living at the time of adoption, the consent of all the wives is necessary. Marriage here means a valid marriage and voidable marriage not declared to be void.
