Citizenship at birth through a Bangladeshi parent
Birth to a Bangladeshi parent creates nationality. What birth in Bangladesh alone confers is UNRESOLVED and is deliberately not recorded: s.4 of the Citizenship Act, 1951 reads "Every person born in Bangladesh after the commencement of this Act shall be a citizen of Bangladesh by birth", subject only to two provisos, where the father has diplomatic immunity and is not a citizen, or is an enemy alien and the birth occurs in a place under enemy occupation. Those are the carve-outs that normally accompany unconditional jus soli rather than conditions that qualify it. The recorded classification of no jus soli was previously asserted at high confidence on an aggregator citation and is not supported by the statute.
not verified against primary law — Quote-checked 2026-08-08 against s.4 as published by the Legislative and Parliamentary Affairs Division, Ministry of Law (bdlaws.minlaw.gov.bd), replacing a constituteproject citation. Two checks support reading s.4 at face value: it carries no amendment footnote where the Ministry footnotes amendments inline (s.5 carries three, including the 2009 "father or mother" substitution), and it is NOT made subject to s.3, which is the 1951 transitional provision, although s.5 does open "Subject to the provisions of section 3". The jus_soli value is REMOVED rather than flipped to unconditional. The Bangladesh Citizenship (Temporary Provisions) Order 1972 (P.O. 149/1972) is a separate instrument that has not been read, and no official source on practice under s.4 was found, so the defensible finding is only that the statute does not support "none". Recording unconditional on this evidence would repeat the error in the opposite direction.
