Information on adoption and its legal procedures [BGD15083]
The attached article states that the 1972 adoption law of
Bangladesh was repealed in 1982 but that the Bangladeshi government
was considering the reintroduction of that law in 1991 (29 June
1991). The article does not state whether or not this law was
reintroduced.
This response was prepared after researching publicly accessible
information currently available to the DIRB within time
constraints. This response is not, and does not purport to be,
conclusive as to the merit of any particular claim to refugee
status or asylum.
