ISLAMABAD: Director General Immigration and Passports Mustafa Jamal Kazi Thursday clarified the directorate's stance about the discrepancy highlighted in the policies of National Database and Registration Authority (Nadra) and passport issuing authority regarding married women.

The matter pertains to the condition of a "married woman's" passport bearing the name of her husband instead of the father — a move that has raised questions regarding the contradictions between the policies of two government institutions that possess data of citizens across the country as well as the policy's discrimination towards women.

The matter came to light during Geo News programme 'Geo Pakistan' a day earlier when Khadija Bukhari, a lawyer and petitioner in the case being heard at the Lahore High Court, spoke about the issue that could cause inconvenience and distress for women who want to retain their father's name on their identification documents, regardless of whether they remain married or divorced.
