Malawian adoption official to put Madonna's marriage under the scanner

London, July 16: Madonna and hubby Guy Ritchie's marriage will be put under the scanner by Malawi's top child welfare inspector to determine if they are fit parents to David Banda.

The meeting with Penston Kilembe, director of Malawi's Ministry of Child Welfare, takes place in two weeks at their home in London's Marble Arch, and the couple are reportedly "dreading" the meet.

Penston Kilembe will not only observe Madge and Guy together for up to five hours a day, but will also be asking them intensive questions about alcohol, infertility, divorce and infidelity.

If the couple, who have been dodging rumours that their relationship is in trouble for some time now, don't show that they are a big, happy family, then chances are that they will not be allowed to adopt David.

"This home study is a big deal - and Madonna and Guy have been absolutely dreading it. Malawi is a conservative country that disapproves of drugs, alcohol, divorce and cheating. These assessments are very gruelling and many couples don't pass," the Sun quoted a source, as saying.

The "home-study" is the final legal hurdle that the couple need to pass so that they can adopt David, who has been living with them since October last year.
