Abstract

With a slight difference, citizenship is always referred to as a legal and political relationship between an individual and the government, which creates certain rights and duties for each of the parties to the other. Although this legal phenomenon has been the concern of national and international institutions for a long time, the governments have not acted as a single entity in determining the citizenship criteria of individuals, and in some cases, as a result of their disunity, a person has dual citizenship and another has no citizenship. The resulting approvals have different effects on the internal regulations of the countries of the world, and paying attention to it has become more important in countries with a high number of multinational marriages; America, Iraq, Afghanistan, Jordan and the United Arab Emirates are among them. ,

The issue of nationality of children resulting from such marriages has been described, analyzed and adapted in the laws of the mentioned countries, with the library method and the study of books, articles and related scientific-legal resources. While a group of countries such as Jordan, Iraq, and the United Arab Emirates still believe in the transfer of citizenship from father to child by applying traditional laws, (except in exceptional cases), the countries of Afghanistan, Egypt, and the United States allow the transfer of citizenship from mother or father, equally, to the child. Adopting the latter approach will largely prevent children from becoming stateless.
