Huh?  Why on earth would a grown adult woman in the United States need a spouse's permission to travel?!

You absolutely do NOT have to have your husband's permission to travel outside of this country or within it. You are not beholden to him for his blessing for you to travel or leave him, temporarily or permanently.

Christianity, Islam and Judaism will tell you to ask your wife or your husband a permission before traveling, and we have all religions here in the USA. It depends on your relationship with your partner and what you are facing.

BS.  This is an immigration forum, so one can infer that the OP was asking her Q in the context of immigration.  There are NO such federal laws in the US about getting “permission” from one”s spouse to travel or anything else.  

 

If you think you or others should live under under such rules, maybe the US isn’t the best choice.

I'm Christian. Never was taught that in Sunday school. Pretty sure a women in this day and age in the USA can do as she pleases without her husbands permission.

There's a big difference between checking with your spouse out of courtesy and kindness, and expecting your spouse to seek your permission to travel. The first is what we do here when we care about our spouses. The second is a form of controlling your spouse. Been there, done that, never doing it again. I am a grown up woman and I do not need my fiance's permission to travel abroad, across the country or down the road. If he ever tried to pull that on me I would show him the door. He can certainly tell me his opinion, including why it may not be a good idea to go wherever it is I want to go, and I will consider his opinion seriously because I love him. But as for him having the last word? NOPE.

 

Maybe if you're in some BDSM relationship and the submissive needs to seek her master's permission? Even then, there is no requirement for a woman to do this. Yuck.

  Actually there are countries where a ,married woman needs a note from the husband to leave the country ( not surprisingly the countries are usually hotbed for forged documents )

Well the USA is NOT one of them. Women here are free to travel and go where they choose. This is a clash of two cultures.

[Moon&Stars 172]

No, you do not legally or immigration wise need to ask his permission to travel. I would make sure you have your documents in order so it doesn't impact your immigration journey, including knowing how long you can stay outside of the USA and not impact your long-term plans. In addition, you should let someone know where you are going so there isn't concern for your safety. But permission, you do not need it.

[ShinyDaisy 31]

In a legal sense, no. You don't need his permission. In a personal sense, I hope he's informed. I most certainly would want my husband to let me know if he's going to be outside the country.
