anabhyanujñā

 Anabhyanujñā (अनभ्यनुज्ञा) in Sanskrit means "lack of permission" or "without consent," referring to actions performed without approval, often in familial or formal contexts.

Etymology and Composition

The word anabhyanujñā is a compound formed from "an"

(a negation prefix meaning "without" or "non-") and "abhyanujñā" 

(अभ्यनुज्ञा), which means "permission," "consent," or

"approval"

. Grammatically, it is 

a feminine noun (f.) in Sanskrit.

• abhyanujñā: approval, consent, permission, authorization.
• an-abhyanujñā / anabhyanujñā: the negated form indicating 
• non-permission or acting without permission.

Thus, the literal sense of anabhyanujñā is “without obtaining

the required consent”.

Usage in Literature

In classical Sanskrit literature, the term appears in contexts where 

someone acts without the permission of an authority figure, 

for example, without the father’s approval, as in the text

Daśakumāracarita, illustrating situations of family or social

hierarchy where consent is expected
