A wife can always apply for passport without the permission or signature of the husband in any form. The practice of insisting for permission from the husband to apply for passport, does not augur well for a society which is moving towards woman's emancipation. This practise is nothing short of male supremacism.
Whether the wife can object to the husband relying on WhatsApp chats on the ground that the husband installed an application in wife’s mobile, without her consent, and infringed her rights to privacy.
