As for Nepal, children born to Nepalese fathers acquire Nepalese citizenship in all circumstances. Children born in Nepal to Nepali mothers and foreign citizen fathers can apply to acquire citizenship
through naturalization, provided they have permanent domicile in Nepal and have not acquired the foreign citizenship of their fathers; to date, however, there are no known cases of children acquiring citizenship through this naturalization process.
Americas
Two States in the Caribbean do not allow women to confer nationality on their children on the same
terms as fathers. In The Bahamas, children born in the country to either a Bahamian father or mother
acquire Bahamian nationality; however, only children born abroad to Bahamian fathers, not mothers,
can acquire Bahamian nationality. The same applies in Barbados, where children born in Barbados to
either Barbadian mothers or fathers acquire Barbadian nationality, but Barbadian mothers cannot
confer nationality on their children born abroad, whereas Barbadian fathers can.
