Kuwaiti Women Lose Nationality After Voluntarily Acquiring Foreign Citizenship

KUWAIT CITY, Oct 14: The Supreme Committee for the Investigation of Kuwaiti Nationality has issued a decision to revoke the nationality of two women. This decision, published in a supplement of the newspaper *Kuwait Alyoum*, is based on Article 11 of Amiri Decree No. 15 of 1959, which governs the Kuwaiti Nationality Law and its subsequent amendments. According to the law, a Kuwaiti citizen loses their nationality if they voluntarily acquire foreign citizenship. However, a Kuwaiti woman does not lose her nationality unless she acquires the nationality of her husband.
