Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the wife had standing and party rights in the husband's citizenship release proceedings.
Extrahierter Entscheid
She had no standing because the release did not automatically affect her citizenship and she lacked a direct, legally protected interest.
Extrahierte Begründung
The release of a husband from citizenship does not automatically extend to the wife under federal law; any communal rule to that effect cannot apply where the wife herself does not meet the federal conditions for release. Any harm in later divorce proceedings was only indirect.
