  On the other hand, the Parliament of Nepal has passed the ruling Communist Party’s proposal to amend the Citizenship Bill. Under this new proposal, foreign women marrying Nepalese men will have to wait a long seven years to get Nepal’s citizenship after marriage.

  Citizenship law will increase problems

  Significantly, with the proposal of Nepal’s new citizenship law proposal, it will take seven years for foreign women, mostly Indians, who marry Nepalese men to get Nepal’s citizenship after marriage. Most members of the committee have given their consent to this proposal but the country’s main opposition party Nepali Congress and some other parties have opposed the controversial amendment proposal.
