17-Mar-2023 (In Documentation Law)

Me and my wife have marital discord. And, are leaving separately for the last 10 years in different cities. My passport is up for renewal now. I want to delete her name from my passport. It is possible to remove her name, without applying for a divorce? Or can I delete using any prescribed affidavits.

According to the Indian passport Act, Death or Divorce is the condition for removing your spouse/wife's name from the passport. It is not possible in any other circumstances as you are still married. In this scenario you can go ahead for divorce petition.
