Naturalisation procedure.

Under Pakistani law, a Muslim wife of a Pakistani man is eligible to apply for Pakistani citizenship on the basis of her marriage (Section 10, Pakistan Citizenship Act, 1951). In this case, the husband holds dual Pakistani and US citizenship, and the wife, formerly an Indian citizen, is now a US citizen. Since she is Muslim and married to a Pakistani man, she qualifies to apply. The application generally requires documents such as the marriage certificate, the husband’s Pakistani CNIC or passport, the wife’s passport, and other standard documents, and can be submitted through the Ministry of Interior or the Pakistani embassy.
