An illiterate Bangladeshi woman whose family reunification application was rejected was vindicated by the Hague District Court on May 20, 2019, in her lawsuit against the government.<\/p>\n

Self-study packages<\/b><\/p>\n

The government developed special self-study packages, which enable citizenship candidates to prepare for the integration exam while abroad. According to the government, the woman neither passed the integration exam abroad nor attempted to do so.<\/p>\n

The woman could not prepare because she did not have the necessary (digital) facilities. In addition, these self-study packages are not available in the Bengali language.<\/p>\n

Judge’s verdict<\/b><\/p>\n

The judge did not go along with the state secretary’s position that people in situations like this can also pass the integration exam and should do their best to do so. The judge ruled that it would be disproportionate to expect the woman to make sufficient efforts to pass the integration exam.<\/p>\n

The Bangladeshi woman’s lawyer, Mr. Eva Bezem of Cleerdin & Hamer Lawyers, worked with the Civic Foundation and the Public Interest Litigation Project (PILP) in this case.<\/p>\n
