The law amends the nationality code to remove restrictions on dual nationality and end discrimination in transmission of nationality between spouses. The law, however, creates conditions for the acquisition of nationality by marriage that did not previously exist. Women naturalizing through their Nigerien husbands had only to wait one year, whereas couples must now wait three years to apply and must fulfill other conditions.<\/p>\n
La loi supprime les restrictions sur la double nationalit\u00e9 et la discrimination dans la tranmission de la nationalit\u00e9 entre les \u00e9pouses. Pourtant, la loi cr\u00e9e des nouvelles conditions pour l’acquisition de la nationalit\u00e9 par mariage qui n’existaient auparavant. Les femmes qui voulaient acquerir la nationalit\u00e9 de leurs maris devaient attendre un an; les couples doivent d\u00e9sormais attendre trois ans et remplir d’autres conditions.<\/p>\n
