the right to custody of the child passes to the nearest female relative of your sister when she died . i e your mother or other nearest female relative. So if the nearest female relative is now under your igama you can add the child but this matter is a question of nessity rather than law. The best solution is to explain the situation to the Igama AUTHORITIES.
