Can wife obtain passport of minor without husband's consent?
In case of application of passport of minor, "full consent" is usually needed. Full consent means the consent of both parents where they need to appear in passport office along with minor. Many countries like Australia allow issuance of passport without full consent only "with an Australian court order".
In India, the noise to paint abductors women as "victim single mothers" by crooked feminist advocates make things murkier with govt. introducing several complex and ambiguous statements which can be misused by unscruplous people.
Applicable act: Passport Rules, 1980
