नेपालको नयाँ संविधानको मस्यौदाका नागरिकताका प्रावधानमा महिला र मधेसीविरुद्ध विभेद

July 20, 2015

नेपालको अन्तरिम संविधानमा कुनै व्यक्तिको आमा वा बाबु नेपाली नागरिक भएमा निज वंशजको आधारमा नेपाली नागरिक हुने व्यवस्था गरिएको छ । तर यो अधिकार कागजमै सीमित रह्यो ।

नयाँ संविधानको मस्यौदामा वंशजको आधारमा नेपाली नागरिक हुन आमा र बाबु दुवै नेपाली नागरिक हुनुपर्ने प्रावधान छ ।

आमाको नामबाट नागरिकता लिन नसकिने हुनाले नेपालमा ४० लाख भन्दा बढी मानिस नागरिकता विहीन रहेको अनुमान गरिन्छ ।

महिलाविरुद्धको असमानता अंगीकृत नागरिकताका प्रावधानमा अझै प्रस्ट हुन्छ, जसअनुसार नेपाली महिलासँग विवाह गरेको विदेशी पुरुषले नेपालको नागरिकता पाउन १५ वर्ष कुर्नुपर्ने हुन्छ त नेपाली पुरुषसँग विवाह गरेको विदेशी महिलाले विदेशी नागरिकता परित्याग गरेपछि तुरुन्तै नागरिकता पाउन सक्छन् । अंगीकृत नागरिकहलाई राज्यका प्रमुख पद र संवैधानिक निकायहरुमा नियुक्तिमा बन्देज लगाइएको छ ।

नागरिकता सम्बन्धी प्रावधान भारतसँगको सिमाना वारीपारी विवाह गर्ने लामो इतिहास भएका मधेसीका लागि पनि विभेदपूर्ण हुनेछन् र तिनीहरुलाई राज्याका पदमा अवसरहरुबाट वंचित गर्नेछन् ।

Nepal’s new constitution draft discriminates against women & Madhesis in citizenship

July 20, 2015

Nepal’s interim constitution provides that any person whose father or mother was a Nepali citizen can acquire citizenship by decent but that right has existed only on paper.

Now, the draft of new constitution requires both father and mother to be Nepali citizens for passing on citizenship by descent.

Over four million people in Nepal are stateless, as women aren’t allowed to pass their citizenship onto their children.

Inequality against women is more prominent in naturalized citizenship provision, which requires a foreign man married to a Nepali woman to wait for 15 years to acquire citizenship of Nepal, whereas a foreign woman married to a Nepali man gets it immediately after marriage, upon relinquishing foreign citizenship. Naturalized citizens are restricted appointments in key state positions and bodies.

The citizenship provisions will also be particularly discriminatory against Madhesi people, given their history of marrying across the borders with India and restrict them opportunities for many state positions.
