NATIONALITY OF WIVES.

POSITION ALTERED BY RECENT EVENTS.

A correspondent' writes to The Time as *follows:-

By the law of this country as it standa today, a woman on her marringe com- pulsory acquires the nationality of ber A British woman by the act of marriage with an alien loses her British nationality and assumes that of ber hins band. An alien woman, on marrying a British subject, acquires British nationality

The history of the law on this subject is interesting. By the common law of Eng- land the nationality of a woman was not affected by her marriage. If a British wo man married an alien she remained British. If an alien woman married a British sub- ject she ruïnnined an alien. In 1844 an Act

PASSING

provifling that an alien wornan on mersing a British sohjeet should be- come a British subject. There was no per vision in that Act for the loss of British nationality by a British woman upon mar- riago with an alien. Such a provision first occurs in the Naturalisation Act of 1970, and was continued in the Naturalisation Act of 1914.

The debates in Parliament on the dis cussion of the Act of 1870 slow that, at that time, apart from questions of rights of pro porty, nationality was regarded largely as a matter of sentiment. Inasmueli na the Act of 1870 enabled an alien to hold land in this country, the loss of British nationality by a British woman on marringe, with an alien WAS not reganied as a matter of “ sèrious importance. There was little or no indica- tion of opinion that the high privilege of British nationality should be carefully | guarded for reneens wholly apart from

property.

A

NEW DIFFICULTIES.

The whole position has term profoundly altered by recent events. The world-wide war has brought to light the real significance of nationality, and the kindred topic of allegiance. Further than that, the recognition of the rights and status of women has, in the last few years, undergone a great development. I only point to

need the recent grant of the franchise to women, the recent legislation for equalising the civil rights of men and women, and the matern views as to the rights and duties of women in the State

Grave objections to the existing law have emerged i into prominence.

Take the case of an alien woman who marries a British subject. She obtains all the privileges of British nationality without complying with any of the conditions us to lunce, character, or otherwise which are naturalition However

Moreover, in war time, she is not subject to any of the restrictions imposed on aliens During the late war she could not bo interned, unless unter the exceptional conditions provided for by legalation 14 of the Defence of the Resim Regulations.
