Marrying a foreigner
Surely, marrying a foreigner cannot be prohibited on moral grounds. However, carrying out government or diplomatic service while being married to a foreigner does provide problems of possible compromise of national interest and hence there are stringent rules in this area. The solution seems to be for the foreign national to give up his/her foreign nationality and become a Bangladesh citizen by due process of law which surely must exist somewhere in Bangladesh constitution and legal framework.
So Bangladeshis marrying abroad or vice versa must be aware of these problems at the time of their marriage and exercise their legal options of citizenship.
