I don't view it as membership of a club, as in you can be a member of several. It's more like marriage to me. Over a lifetime, one may have several spouses. But only one at a time. And when marrying, the intention is for life, though it may not always turn out that way. I don't judge anyone else for their views on this, it is too personal a decision. Again, though, in MY view. |

I think married couples ought to be able to have dual citizenship (provided they can meet all requirements) because they will always have a tie to the other country (in-laws, possibly children, finances...).
