In Pakistan, the process for acquiring citizenship is not automatic for foreign women married to Pakistani citizens. The Pakistani nationality law does provide provisions for foreign spouses of Pakistani citizens to apply for Pakistani citizenship, but it involves a specific application process and requirements.
Foreign women married to Pakistani citizens are eligible to apply for Pakistani citizenship under the Pakistan Citizenship Act, 1951. The Act allows for the acquisition of citizenship through marriage, but it requires the foreign spouse to meet certain conditions and go through an application procedure.
The process typically involves submitting an application for citizenship to the relevant government authorities, along with supporting documents and fulfilling specific criteria such as residency requirements, language proficiency, and good character. The application will be reviewed, and if approved, the foreign spouse may be granted Pakistani citizenship.
