Legally in Malayalam
None of the options here is really the adverb legally. ദത്തെടുത്ത (dattheduttha) means adopted, taken in legally as one of the family, and ദത്ത് (dath) is adoption itself. Both touch the law only through that single act, so legally has to be expressed another way.
Most common translation
Adopted, taken in legally as one's own child; also taken up as one's own.
അവർ ഒരു കുട്ടിയെ ദത്തെടുത്തു.
avar oru kuttiye dattheduthu.
They adopted a child.
