Abstract: Informed consent is an integral part of Research Ethics. A transparent consent is vital to safeguard the rights of research participants. However, the recommendations for obtaining consent differ according to cultural context. This paper has discussed some of the disputed aspects of informed consent and has proposed some recommendations. Finally, it is concluded that a relational autonomy model is an appropriate choice to obtain a culturally relevant consent in developing countries rather than a formal written consent.
