Children born to women married to non-nationals, and unwed men do not have the same rights to citizenship as men married to non-national women. How do you justify this as a country to say this is fair? It’s a very sexist and antiquated way of thought. Here is the information for those of you that really don’t know what you’re talking about.
Automatic Bahamian citizenship is given to persons who are:
Born in The Bahamas to married parents, with either parents being a Bahamian citizen Born to an un-married Bahamian female in or outside of The Bahamas Born outside of The Bahamas to a married Bahamian male who was not born outside The Bahamas Adopted by a married Bahamian male Adopted by a single Bahamian female. All other foreign nationals who wish to be afforded the rights, responsibilities, and privileges afforded to Bahamians, and qualify, must apply for citizenship.
Eligibility In order to apply for Bahamian citizenship, persons must be one of the following:
A legal permanent resident in The Bahamas who has had the legal status for 10 years, including the 12 months immediately preceding the date of application, and who has resided in The Bahamas for a minimum of 6 years preceding the 12 months mentioned above A female spouse of a Bahamian citizen Born in The Bahamas after 9th July, 1973 to Non-Bahamian parents A child (adopted or biological) who has at least one Bahamian parent (Naturalised or otherwise) A child born in the Bahamas to non-Bahamian parents Please note that whilst a male spouse of a Bahamian citizen may not be eligible for natural citizenship, he would be eligible for naturalized citizenship.
