[Advocate Kharel had argued that persons belonging to the Badi and Deuki communities should be granted citizenship according to Article 9 (2) of the constitution. The Article says, "every child who is found within the Kingdom of Nepal and the whereabouts of whose parents are not known, shall, until the father of the child is traced, be deemed a citizen of Nepal by descent." ] According to the news above, Article 9 (2) of the Constitution seems clear on the issue. I don't understand why the court ruled the way it did. Since we share an open border with India, courts having conservative or even restrictive position, in a certain extent, on the citizenship issue is understandable to me . However, denying citizenships to those righful kids who are/will be born to unwed mothers is wrong. What is the fault of those children who are/will born born out of forced/raped relationships? Why penalize them? Why father is more important than mother when it comes to citizenship. A mother goes through a lot to deliver a baby. In fact, it should be mother, if one parent should get the prioority, through whom the citizenship of a child is to be defined. Just my thought.
