English translation of the principle

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 her husband’s consent, and its publication in the Official Gazette. Effect thereof. That provision is deemed never to have existed. The wife’s request for a declaration of her entitlement thereto. Inadmissible for lack of interest. Basis thereof.
