Regarding leaving a column blank in the Aadhaar card, it is advisable to fill in all the required information to avoid any potential processing issues. If a column cannot be filled in, the individual may seek guidance from the Aadhaar enrolment center or contact the UIDAI helpline for assistance.

Regarding the mention of a biological father in the Aadhaar card, the Aadhaar Act allows the inclusion of the name of the father or the mother or the legal guardian of the child in the Aadhaar card. If the biological father is not the legal guardian, the legal guardian's name can be included in the Aadhaar card. However, if an individual chooses not to include the father's name in the Aadhaar card, they may provide the name of their mother or legal guardian instead.

Also, it's important to note that being divorced does not alter the biological fatherhood of your child by your ex-husband. It is advisable to ensure that all the information provided in the Aadhaar card is accurate and up-to-date to avoid any potential issues in the future.

I recommend you to mention the same in the aadhar card as there have been several instances where the various documents such as passport etc. were rejected by the Authorities as the same were not having name of biological father's name. Though the same were challenged in courts of law later on, but it's better to avoid troubles and litigation.

As Aadhar is processed by predestined computer softwares leaving a column blank may Bloch processing of theingotmation provided by you.
Moreover the fact that you have been divorced does not change the fact that your ex husband is the biological father of your child.

The father's name column can be left blank in case of divorcee. There is no compulsion by way of any act to write the name of the biological father hence, the column can be left blank. You can go ahead and apply the Aadhar Card.
