the moth wrote:The case I have quoted a few times of a similar situation which the government lost reveals that the relevant laws in Bangladesh which have been revised, replaced and supplemented over the years are confusing and contradictory. Legal experts brought in to advise on the case couldn't agree what the various elements meant
https://forums.digitalspy.com/discussio ... to-uk/p138DeepPurple and The Moth keep referring to this and the Bangladeshi Citizenship act. The moth claims that the experts couldn't agree on the complexities but they actually do agree (most of them) on the law as it relates to G3 (The 27 year old Jihadi Bride)
"It is manifest from a reading of the 1951 Act that citizenship by descent arises at birth. That is in no way surprising. The position is exactly the same under the British Nationality Act 1981 and its predecessor, the British Nationality Act 1948. Mr Ghani has introduced into Bangladesh nationality law the concepts of de jure and de facto citizenship, which find no expression in the legislation or in any commentary upon it. As both counsel in effect submitted, Mr Ghani has fundamentally misunderstood the significance of the various sets of Rules governing what is needed in order to demonstrate citizenship of Bangladesh. The Rules upon which he relies are not substantive Bangladesh nationality law. the Bangladeshi Citizenship act only grants citizenship to people who are less than 21 years old unless they have taken an active measure to acquire it."
The problem with that case was that the woman was 27 so they had to try to establish some other means for her to have citizenship because the citizenship act is perfectly clear in its wording.
http://siac.decisions.tribunals.gov.uk/ ... .12.17.pdfThe consensus in that decision is that Bangladeshi nationality is conferred at birth up until the age of 21.
