Husband wants daughter on his Algerian passport

[Lady Aminah]

Salaam Ladies

Its been a long time since I posted, the last time I did I was singing the prasies of my soon to be Algerian husband (Aug 2007) who kinda let me down 8 weeks into the marriage but hey! thats a different story, i need your opinion on my next dilemma

Aside from that one issue at the start of our marriage things have been pretty good, he is a responsible guy who does his best at work and adores our little girl etc... we've been married just over a year and a half and Alhumdulilah have a 5 month old daughter now

My husband wants us to vist Algeria soon and I had been looking forward to the trip, till my husband told me he wants to put our daughter on his Algerian Passport which will enable her to access Algeria without the need for a Visa. Understandable,I know.... but I dont feel comfortable in doing so. This is now causing tension between us I do know that if I enter Algeria with our daughter (on her british passport) I wanted to leave with her I would still need his authority to take her out of Algeria etc... can somebody tell me please, by putting her on his passport will it make my daughter a dual national and will I lose my rights here in the uk?

Im married to him and things are pretty ok, but there is never a guarentee is there?

Look forward to hearing from other mothers etc... xx

Sure you will, if your daughter has dual nationality you will need his permission to take her out of Algeria putting her on his passport would make a her a dual citizen, you will have no rights as the mother, and he can quite easily take her from you...........oldest trick in the book, if you do not have 100 percent trust do not do it, he can still take her to Algerie on a british passport just get her a visa, I would advise against it........unless you trust him 100 percent.

However you are married and there must be some trust between you as you are the mother of his child.........Algerian men are not all heartless monsters......it is quite normal for an Algerian man to want his child to share his nationality, if you have been married for longer than three years you too can have an Algerian passport......so why not wait and have your daughter on your passport

However he can put her on his passport anyway as the father I am quite sure he can do this, I am not sure if he needs consent of the mother, I will ask for you, or you can speak to the foreign and commonweath office for some advice they deal with these cases all the time.........

Thanks Bent_Bladi and Mayissa for your advice, I will be addressing the issue at some point this week as I think he has intentions of us visiting the consulate on the weekend. I dont feel too good as I dont want a confrontation over the subject and I really hope we can settle it without a massive argument. will keep you posted xx

Good luck

Goodluck!
p.s. A man should NEVER make his wife feel uncomfortable. I think there will be trouble if he only has the child on his passport. Take care.

replying to you about losing ur rights as a citizen, you only lose ur rights as a British citizen if you leave the UK for more than 2 years and don't enter it before that. Putting your daughter on his passport is a bit risky but it's your husband and u know what to do. I'll advise you to get her a visa then when u get algerian passport put her on ur passport, yes you will have to get permission from the father but putting her in your passport will give u some rights.
