Why can a single mother not be able to renew her daughter’s passport without a father’s consent who is not providing for her?
@passportsevamea
There were four other single mothers with me who weren’t allowed to apply for their children’s passport with no proper clarification. Just no! @BDUTT @fayedsouza @bainjal @nehadixit123 @News_Minute @citizenmatters @the_hindu
I submitted the required declarations and repeatedly asked for the rule that makes the father's consent mandatory in my case. No official could provide one.
As the sole breadwinner, my work may require international travel. If my daughter's passport cannot be renewed, I am effectively being forced to choose between career opportunities that support our livelihood and staying with my child. @DrSJaishankar @NCWIndia @DKShivakumar
Yet Passport Seva officials refused to process her passport renewal unless I produced a letter of permission from her father, who is unwilling to provide one. @passportsevamea
Can an estranged parent simply refuse consent and prevent a child from obtaining a passport despite there being no court order against travel?
I respectfully request clarification and assistance. @passportsevamea
