It has been 30 or 35 years since i am married and we have no child. but we have adopted a son of my brother-in law. we have adopted him soon after his birth even he did not taste his mother’s milk. we had done all the legal formalities. we have legally given him our property. the question is now he is young and ready to marry so we want to know that in NIKAH documents whose name should be written his real mother and father’ name or who have adopted him. please enlighten me on this through the light of QURAN and HADIS.

The name of real father shall be written in the column of father’s name not the person who has adopted the child.
