Did you get this iPad new directly from Apple or used from another source? Which exact model is it? If it is only running iOS 9.x, it must be one of the original iPad mini models that came out in 2012 and would be considered "vintage" by Apple Support.

Not sure I can answer the "why does it keep deactivating," but the following support article may be helpful to get it activated again: How to remove Activation Lock - Apple Support
