Preview

Description: This study examines the Lebanese Nationality Law 15 of 1925 and the judicial rulings issued in this regard, particularly those issued by the Lebanese Court of Cassation, which shows contradictory rulings and sheds light on the jurisprudence of the Lebanese judiciary in interpreting the provisions of the Lebanese Nationality Law. The study also discusses the implications for Lebanese women who are not able to pass on their nationality to their children at various levels and presents figures and statistics provided by some departments and statements of ministries that did not provide the National Commission for Lebanese Women with numbers and information on Lebanese women married to foreigners and their children. The study concludes with a set of recommendations at the individual, community and institutional levels.
