Obama Sr. was married to Dunham in February 1961 (at least according to their divorce decree in Hawaii in 1965).
Obama SR already had a wife & 2 kids when he arrived in the USA as an exchange or Foreign Aid student.
Would this not be bigamy?
That's a good question that leads to a lot more, such as does it render the SAD / BHO marriage void?
The British regulations at that time are hard for me to determine regarding the transfer of british citizenship in out-of-wedlock marriages. It could be that there was no transfer of British citizenship to BHO Jr. if there were no marriage.
Also, if Obama was born outside the US and SAD was not married, for whatever reason, Obama would have had US citizenship conferred at birth, As I read the regulations.
There would be no transfer of US citizenship in an out-of-US birth if SAD was married to BHO Sr. at that time. Again, as I read the regulations.
Quite true but the issue at hand was whether he was listed as the father on the birth certificate. I think he was for the reasons I listed including the fact that a Hawaii divorce judge in 1965 described it as a “lawful” marriage that began in February 1961 (Months prior to Obama’s birth). As I said, it is standard practice in most states to list the husband on the birth certificate even if the wife objects (and why would she have objected?)
