Citizenship and the conveyance of it in MENA

[PetraPerson101 0]

A lot of interesting information.... am curious about more.

Also was interested in that if a Jordanian woman married a foreigner, Jordan citizenship can not be passed onto the children. And if Jordanian man married a foreign, must go through all kinds of procedures (with the husband's permission) to get Jordanian citizen for the wife and the children.

Interesting, to say at the least.

There is an absurd law - the Citizenship law - in Jordan that women who marry foreigners cannot pass the Jordanian citizenship on to their children. Most reside in Jordan, these are Jordanian women, with, for all intents and purposes, Jordanian kids who were born on this soil and have probably lived here their entire lives. Yet, just like a foreigner, they need to renew their residency permits every year.

( ???? )

Where does this information come from?

I was born in the US, my father's Jordanian, and I'm a citizen.

Unless this is new.

Imagine,,,being in a tent,,,cramping, no coffee or Midol,,,confined with other women that are sleeping with your husband. Chaos.

jackie

sounds like this place in west texas.

NOW THAT WAS FUNNY AS HELL CHARLES LOLOLOLOLOLOL

I LOL'd too. I'd post a LOLCAT & LOL'd Owl - but I don't have imagehosting at the moment.

Right, because your father is Jordanian. You can go to the Jordanian government's site and look it up yourself. Jordanian citizenship passes through the father and not through the mother.

Your dad is jordanian. What they are talking about is when a female jordanian marries outside of Jordan...citizenship doesnt convey... to lets say a stateless person or like someone from syria etc...Men always convey their citizenship . For example. I am married to an Algerian. Our baby will automatically be Algerian too.Eligible for a passport, to go to school there, live there etc without any kind of permit. In some countries, women do not convey nationality, only men do. Jordan is one of those places
