Sec. 51.46  Marriage to an alien between March 2, 1907, and September 22, 1922.

    (a) A woman citizen of the United States who married an alien 
between March 2, 1907, and September 22, 1922, lost her U.S. 
citizenship, except as provided in paragraph (b) of this section. At the 
termination of the marital relation she could resume her U.S. 
citizenship, if abroad, by registering as a U.S. citizen within 1 year 
with a Consul of the United States, or by returning to reside in the 
United States, or, if resident in the United States, by continuing to 
reside therein. (Section 3 of the Act of March 2, 1907.)
    (b) A woman citizen of the United States who married an alien 
between April 6, 1917, and July 2, 1921, did not lose her citizenship, 
if the marriage terminated by death or divorce prior to July 2, 1921, or 
if her husband became a U.S. citizen prior to that date. She may 
establish her citizenship by proving her U.S. citizenship prior to 
marriage and the termination of the marriage or acquisition of U.S. 
citizenship by her husband prior to July 2, 1921.
