My husband and I have been separated for 18 months without any legal proceedings. I’ve been solely responsible for our child who has thalassemia. My husband hasn’t contacted us since the separation. When enrolling our child in play school, is it mandatory to provide his name?

In India, the father’s name is generally required for school enrollment. However, given your circumstances and the lack of contact from your husband, you can discuss the situation with the school authorities and explore options like providing his name without a signature or seeking guidance from a lawyer on alternative solutions.
