the marriage in Haiti. Because of confusion about the provision, Article 5 was modified by the legislature on 10 October 1884, clarifying that a Haitian woman who married a foreigner automatically lost her Haitian nationality and could repatriate only upon the death of her spouse and following the procedures for naturalization. She could not own property in Haiti under any circumstances. For foreign women who married Haitian men, the article provided that they automatically derived the nationality of the spouse. These provisions were carried through to the 1889 revision to the constitution, which also stipulated that Haitian birthright nationality was granted to children born anywhere to a Haitian father; to children born anywhere to a Haitian mother, only if they were not legally recognized by their father; or to children born in the territory to foreigners if they were descended of Africans.

administrators created a new public sphere in by which people were unfit for civil life based on their constructed racial sexual stereotypes; those that were unfit were not allowed to practice their citizenship rights. Resentful of black success, the colonial elite segregated themselves from their counterparts, the wealthy Creole and ex-slave families, by using race instead of wealth to classify their high level of society. For example, everyone, regardless of wealth, who had one African grandparent had to identify themselves as "quarteron," a person of color. Colonial administration used racism as a tool in developing a Saint-Domingue identity. The French law of colonial citizenship being fully "white" was influenced by the enlightenment's emphasis on the purity of ‘whiteness". The French Constitution of 1791 specifically left out French territories:

amended in 1942. After the amendment, Article 9 no longer required married women to lose their nationality and allowed them to repatriate. The new process did not require them to naturalize as a foreigner, allowing them to simply make a declaration in the prosecutor's office of the place of residence stating her desire to retrieve Haitian nationality. The Constitutions of 1964 and 1971 granted derivative nationality by choice to foreign women marrying Haitian men, but required that the marriage certificate renounce any other nationality. Haitian women were unable to pass on nationality to children legally recognized by their fathers until passage of the Nationality Law of 6 November 1984. Between 1984 and the passage of the 1987 Constitution, children born abroad to Haitian parents were considered foreigners unless both parents were Haitians.

as long as the parents did not recognize them before their majority. If a child was of African descent and born to foreigners in Haiti it was recognized as having Haitian nationality if it was legitimate or legally recognized by the father, or illegitimate and unrecognized by the father. A child born in Haiti to foreigners who were not of African descent could claim birthright nationality by declaring in the year of reaching majority the desire to have Haitian nationality and renouncing any foreign nationality. Naturalization or relinquishment of nationality by a Haitian father did not automatically affect his children. Women had no ability to change the nationality of their children while married.

The new… nationalism precipitates strong tensions between conservative and radical elements within local intelligentsias. Here too, the Haitian experience of the early 1900s, with its armed conflict…Finally, the accelerated urbanization and migration experienced in Haiti, which resulted from the centralizing tendencies of the state, import-dependency, and the extreme exploitation of labor, …trends in the global economy created the impetus for a massive population exodus after World War II." 455:
husband. To regain nationality lost by marriage, a Haitian woman had to apply for naturalization as if she were a foreigner, if her marriage existed. Upon termination of the marriage, she could repatriate by denouncing her foreign nationality and declaring her intent before the proper authorities. A foreign woman who had obtained Haitian nationality upon marriage could renounce it upon termination of the marriage by acquiring another nationality. The wife of a foreign man who naturalized as Haitian automatically derived his new nationality. The wife of a naturalized Haitian was unable to independently change her nationality.
671:; yet while feelings have begun to lean towards acceptance of dual citizenship, policy has yet to change. Legally, the 1987 constitution still stands, which states, "Dual Haitian and foreign nationality is in no case permitted." The constitution also automatically negates Haitian citizenship with the acquisition of foreign citizenship, which strongly affects today's Haitian diaspora. However, there is an exception. A child with Haitian parents born outside of Haiti may dually acquire the citizenship of their birth country. At the age of 18, the child must renounce one of their nationalities. 418:, but had significant differences. In the Haitian version, only people with African or indigenous blood could be naturalized. It conferred nationality upon anyone born in Haiti, regardless of legitimacy, or born abroad to a Haitian. Foreigners were prohibited from owning property in Haiti, except moveable assets, thus if a foreigner inherited property, they had to pay its value to the heirs. Haitian wives who married foreigners were required to sell any real property that they owned, if by marriage they acquired the nationality of their husband. 675:
citizenship included naturalization in another country or working in a political position in the service of a foreign government (Haiti 1987, Art. 13). The constitutional amendments were originally approved by legislators in May 2011 and some media sources suggested at the time that dual citizenship had been immediately legalized (TVA nouvelles 9 May 2011; Haiti libre 9 May 2011). However, the amendments did not become law until they were published in the national gazette on 19 June 2012 (JURIST 20 June 2012; The Huffington Post 19 June 2012).
