The issue of Syrian women marrying foreigners is presented, in most cases, as being limited to those who married ISIS fighters. Yet the problem and its consequences, especially the price paid today by Syrian wives and their children, extend far beyond marriages to ISIS members. Moreover, the deprivation of Syrian mothers of the right to pass their nationality to their children is a legal and feminist issue that predates 2011. It has resulted in an unknown number of children born to Syrian women growing up stateless and without citizenship.
