Hi,
Read article 5 and 42 of this law: I never signed anything or made any declaration regarding Turkish nationality when we got married. So how would you interpret this? Sorry, but it is again in German

I'm not at all a legal expert in any way
I guess you should be fine. Maybe the other case was due to some other specific circumstances. As I only faintly remember this whole issue, maybe I was mistaken in some detail.
I just wanted to make you aware of this, as from what I gathered you went to the German embassy in Dublin and showed them your marriage certificate. If the Turkish thing had been automatic, problems would have probably surfaced already.
So I guess and hope you won't have more problems than we both already have...
Googling, I found this. Considering all the spelling-mistakes in the document, I wonder how "official" it is? However:
Marriage: if a woman married to a Turkish national is stateless or
loses her previous nationality due to marriage or has notified within the legal process, she acquires the Turkish nationality.
And, according to this, it could be interpreted that
- the Germans consider you to gain Turkish nationality by marrying a Turk. (as this would loose you German nationality, as per the Turkish law)
- this would void your German nationality.
Of course this would not take into account the part "due to marriage", but considering occasional German friendliness, this may be used to get rid of people they don't want in Germany?
Or, in the other case, the lady just considered the second passport handy and made a declaration as per the above, not knowing about the consequences...?
In a way I'm sorry having posted this, but I had it in my head and didn't want to keep it to myself. That's all.
@all: Sorry for taking this topic astray

@ Heike: Sorry, if I got you worried.
