Nepal girl seeking amendment in Nepal citizenship law for 7 years, will have to wait for 7 years

Kathmandu, Pratr. The parliamentary panel of Nepal has proposed to amend the Citizenship Act of the country. Actually, to get married to a person of Nepal origin, the woman of another country will have to wait for one or two full seven years to get citizenship here. The move has been criticized by Nepal’s main opposition parties. They say that this will trouble the people living in Madhesh because marriages across the border are valid there.

The Nepali Congress (Nepali Congress, NC) and Janata Samajwadi Party (Janata Samajbadi Party, SJP) have said that such provisions can also affect Nepal’s relations with India from where long livelihood and marriage relations are prolonged Are from Until four or five years ago, 40 to 50 processions from India generally went to Nepal. These are the same figures for the processions going from India to Nepal. But in recent years the number of processions from Nepal has reduced by more than half compared to earlier.
