Abstract

In granting the citizenship of a mother to a different child, according to the legal bases and conditions of the laws, it has established the rules. which is usually different. In European countries such as France and England, the blood system was dominant in the beginning, and only children who had French or English fathers can have the citizenship of this country. But now, with the amendment of the laws of this country, in granting the citizenship of the mother to the child, rights equal to the rights of the father are considered, and the citizenship of the mother has an influential effect on the citizenship. Iran's relevant laws consider the granting of citizenship through marriage as exclusive to Iranian men, and if men of foreign citizenship marry Iranian women, they will not be subject to this right.
The law recognized the conditions of this right for women. Despite the efforts made and the approved laws, the legal loopholes and challenges and problems in this regard have not ended and the father's citizenship is still preferred over the mother's citizenship. And there is no equality in this field. In the present study, the criteria and effects of granting citizenship to mother to child in the laws of Iran, England, and France have been investigated with the analytical-descriptive method, and various issues are tried to be considered with comparative studies.
