Chitta and I are in the middle of a legal discussion.
The citizenship given to minors is an extension of the citizenship
of the father (prime guardian), or in the absence of the father the
mother (next natural guardian).
So a child has a right to travel abroad, but the father must apply for the
child's passport. Only now after a great deal of legal fight has the mother
been given the right to apply for child's passport. A child cannot apply for
his own passport.
In sum, a child/minor has rights, but they must be exercised for him
by an adult.
If you want to know more, enrol in law school.
