Jordanian women who have married foreigners face an unpleasant educational situation—their children are treated as foreigners when they seek admission at Jordan’s public universities. A report presented by the Arab Women's Association to the Women's Parliamentary Committee revealed that these children are forced to pay the same fees as foreigners, despite the fact that a number of decisions have been made to this effect. These children are accepted in public schools only at the expense of waiting lists.
The news site 'Jafra News' has reported that Jordanian children married to foreigners cannot own real estate in their name and must therefore register any property in the name of their mother, not to mention the fact that Land Department rejects any registration of a new house or apartment in the name of a child unless the value of the property deposits 35,000 dinars and claims investment certificates, a valid passport and a work permit.
With respect to inheritance, the association assured, during its meeting with the parliamentary committee, that in case of Jordanian woman’s death (married to a foreigner), her properties does not go to her children but to his brothers and sisters according to Jordanian law.
As far as work is concerned, these children cannot get jobs in state-owned companies and in the private sector they are marginalized because priority is given to Jordanians and are paid less than Jordanians and are not subscribed to social security and health insurance.
The association has indicated that these children are not authorized to donate blood and in case of obligation, the child must pay the sum of 40d to the blood bank while other Jordanians are not required to pay these fees.
The identity cards of these children are yellow which blocks them in several sectors and they are obliged to renew their residence card each year. The law only allows the woman to give her nationality to the child when he is of unknown father.
Nearly 90,000 Jordanian women are married to foreigners, the Minister of Interior Hussein Majali said in November. They’ve produced almost 340,000 children.
