FAMILY TREE On the other hand, mixed marriages are a more recent cause for the nonregistration of children at birth. While 11% of adult stateless respondents are born to a Syrian mother, 36% of undocumented children have this same descent, yet remain stateless despite some of them having a Lebanese non-stateless father. They are, hence, at risk of becoming stateless after missing the one year deadline for registering the birth. This shows that mixed marriages represent a potentially growing root cause of statelessness in Akkar. 54% 81% are born to a Lebanese mother 36% are born to a Syrian mother are born to a Lebanese father STATELESS CHILDREN 218 respondents (parents survey) Mother’s side 18% are born to a stateless father 6% 1% are born to a stateless mother are born to an unknown father Father’s side © 2021 Siren Associates.
