To quote the legal page:
I have two questions:
How does this affect the application time for residency for a woman? Does this mean that immediately once the woman is married she can apply for a cedula?
Does anyone know why a man who marries a Dominican woman does not have the automatic right to Dominican citizenship?
In addition to being the offspring of a Dominican citizen, you can acquire Dominican citizenship through marriage. A foreign woman who marries a Dominican has the right to Dominican citizenship. This does not work in reverse. A foreign man who marries a Dominican woman does not have the automatic right to Dominican citizenship.
