Let’s say a young Egyptian man falls in love with a young Austrian woman, they get married, and have a baby. What is that baby? Austrian or Egyptian?
Let’s say that the young couple migrate to Canada, have another baby, and then get divorced. The Egyptian father retains custody of the children, then marries an American woman who raises his children as if they were biologically hers. Are those children Canadian? American?
