My partner’s dad is exploring Italian citizenship and interestingly enough his grandfather had to renounce his Italian citizenship when he was naturalized an American - but his grandmother didn’t have to because she was a woman. If your ancestor renounced citizenship you can’t claim descent but if they didn’t you can. So currently the family’s citizenship case rests on a sexist legal loophole from the early 1900s.

Ah, citizenship law. I hate it so much.

I wonder if that 'Only men' rule had something to do with conscription, since only men could be conscripted, what if they had two citizenship from opposing countries? But just a wild guess.

There’s actually an ongoing issue regarding a Togolese family descended from a German man married to a Togolese woman arguing the family isn’t entitled to German citizenship because Germany didn’t recognize interracial marriage at the time.

You know that’s a pretty bad look for a country supposedly trying to restore citizenship to as many people as possible to correct their past wrongs. I mean Germany does plenty of other stuff to have a bad look just like any other country but this is definitely one of them.

Oh btw I forgot to mention. If any of y’all are descendants of Jewish holocaust survivors, whether your ancestors were German citizens or not, you might qualify for German citizenship so you might wanna look into that to see if it applies to you. Doesn’t matter the gender of your ancestors either because they’re working on restoring citizenship to people who lost it because of the stupid woman rule.
