The Constitutional Court’s ruling that Article 15/1 of Law 11/1962, as amended by Law 105/1994, concerning passports is unconstitutional insofar as it provides that a wife may not be granted a separate passport without the husband’s consent, and its publication in the Official Gazette. Its effect. That provision becomes as though it had never existed. The wife’s request to bring an action to establish her entitlement thereto. Inadmissible for lack of interest. The basis thereof.
