May be Euro people don't give important to the relation ships in the documents as husband & wife just follow their own ways quickly after their marriage .............

In a Pakistani passport their is a provision where either the father's name or husband's name must appear. As such, since it is a case of your wife, I suggest you have your name on your wife's passport. I do not think you can currently get a Pakistani passport issued with either of the name missing.

European passports don't have a provision for a wife's or a husband's name in the passport. Only for dependent children. However, my wife is in Qatar, too. So, it seems to depend on your nationality.

I believe it is. My wife's passport carries my name.

What kind of passport are you talking about? A passport is the identification document of a single individual. It should have the individual's name and nothing else.
