British IS girl has had her baby

[BrizzleMint]

She's had her baby - a son.

Cabinet minister Jeremy Wright told BBC's Andrew Marr programme that the baby's nationality was "not straightforward".

The culture secretary, who was previously attorney general, said the first priority was establishing the health of her and her baby.

Can’t someone go and get the baby and bring him here? If she allows it.

She is married doesn't that make a difference to nationality?

Why should we bring her child over here it needs to stay with mum and dad in Syria

Yes, there is a long interview with her on Sky news today.

needmorepizza who do you propose should travel to Syria to remove this child?

Why should we be burdened with it?

I don't think she's British anymore... surely she's chosen to take her husband's nationality

Guys. You can’t just look between a baby’s legs to assign it’s nationality. You have to let it grow up in the middle of the sea and then decide which country it wants to be part of.

From Wikipedia:

Syrian nationality law is the law governing the acquisition, transmission and loss of Syrian citizenship. Syrian citizenship is the status of being a citizen of the Republic of Syria and it can be obtained by birth or naturalisation. The Syrian nationality is transmitted by paternity (father) (see Jus sanguinis).[1] Therefore, Syrian nationality is determined solely by the father's nationality, while the place of birth is irrelevant. In other words, birthright citizenship is not recognized since being born in Syria does not grant an automatic right to become a national. In most cases, individuals are deemed to be Syrian nationals regardless of whether they are born inside or outside Syria as long as their father holds Syrian nationality.[2][3][4]

So the baby is not a Syrian national.

...So I come onto a feminist website, [Kinnock ON] A Feminist Website, to find someone arguing that a woman who marries loses her own nationality and takes that of her husband???

She's British. Her child is British. Can people not grasp that the law is whatever it is, not whatever you want?

So the baby is Dutch-British, I wonder what the Dutch view is on the family going there.

Does she want to send the baby to Britain alone?
My impression is that she's hoping the baby is her ticket to preferential treatment ie. a rescue.

I don't think she's British anymore... surely she's chosen to take her husband's nationality

@Arkos No, that's not how it works.

No one is disputing that the woman has UK citizenship, the question is over the child's right to citizenship.

Is her father Dutch or the baby's father Dutch?

This is a groomed , brainwashed, sexual abused child we are talking about. At 19 she is still very young. She should be allowed back, possible sent to prison depending on specific crimes. Her baby should be adopted in the UK.

PS: The baby is not Dutch. They are not legally married and unmarried fathers have no parental rights under UK Law.

The baby's alleged father is Dutch. I think his current whereabouts is unknown.

I watched a snippet of the sky news interview and twice she said that British authorities have no “proof” or “evidence” against her. That’s what guilty people say, it isn’t what innocent people say! Oh but apparently she was “just a housewife” and we should all feel “sympathy” for her. We all know she’s going to be brought back, she won’t end up facing any charges. It’s a joke. And I am all for giving people second chances in the majority of cases but not in this instance.

So she comes back then milly

Under her own steam.... why should we send 'someone' to get her?

milly which 'feminist website' were you referring to there?

Regarding the "groomed" - is that always a get-out clause? Is there ever any personal responsibility or are all girls/young women just hapless and vulnerable and in no way the architects of their own fortune?

I read today the question of whether you would forgive a child who joined the Hitler Youth and then went on to become a member of the SS. Well?

...She can knock on the door of the embassy in Ankara or Beirut and she will be entitled to receive consular services.

But she appears to expect HMG to send a taxi.

"South of the Euphrates at this time of the war? You must be jokin...."

It???!! Can we remember that, never mind the choices of any parent that baby is an entirely innocent life. Syrian/British whatever that baby is hours old and surely we should hope for the best outcome for any baby.

She was groomed by nature of her being a child not because she was female.

There is no actual proof she was pregnant tbf she is just saying it and we believe her 🤷‍♀️ she doesn't seem too bothered about the children she allegedly lost either

There was some hints about DNA testing if she did show up with a baby in tow but I'm unsure of the legality of this

Listening to her further interview today I do now feel sympathy for her. I suffered from excruciating post natal depression and I heard the voice of a very depressed young woman, who has given birth to a child she must be afraid to bond with seeing as the 2 others died. Her story is out there now and we have nothing to gain by leaving her and her child there to die from malnutrition. Fact is she is a british citizen and should be tried here. She was 15. We should show mercy.
