«In this article, we analyse and discuss the legal criteria granting access to facilitated naturalisation in Switzerland. Among the possible legal criteria, marriage to a Swiss citizen as a criterion for obtaining citizenship is emblematic of the conservative political background in this country. It is also influenced by gendered stereotypes within the law itself and its application. We argue in favour of a critical approach to the law in order to avoid the erasure of categories of individuals who are relegated to society's margins. In a healthy democracy and judicial system, the law ought to be designed so as to avoid reproducing exclusionary bias. In this regard, we also discuss why acceding to citizenship is a prerequisite for exercising one's political rights and thus, achieving inclusion in Switzerland.»
