National Assembly member Vamdev Gautam has said that foreign women who want to get citizenship through marriage must make arrangements to renounce their citizenship. During the discussion on the Nepal Citizenship (First Amendment) Bill 2079 at the National Assembly meeting on Monday, Gautam, a member of the National Assembly, said that there should be a provision to give up the citizenship of one’s country before acquiring citizenship by marriage. He expressed the opinion that citizenship should be granted only after completing such a process. He said that although the government has brought a bill to solve the problem of citizenship, some provisions should be corrected.
