Original Egyptian Nationality between Theory and Legislation

Abstract

The research is based on a study of the case of Egyptian legislation, and the position of the Egyptian legislator on granting Egyptian nationality, as the Egyptian law has remained for nearly 30 years from the issuance of the 1975 legislation on the regulation of Egyptian nationality prevents Egyptian women from transmitting their nationality to their children until it came in 2004 to amend the law to achieve equality between the Egyptian mother and the Egyptian father in granting their children Egyptian nationality. Egyptian law recognizes the right of the region by granting children of unknown parents born on Egyptian territory the right to enjoy Egyptian nationality so that they do not become stateless in accordance with the conditions set by law. On this basis, my research is divided into three parts, the first is the general bases and criteria for granting the original nationality, and then the statement of the cases of acquiring the original Egyptian nationality, and in the end, I discuss the position of the original Egyptians when the law was passed in 1975.
