Abstract: This article examines the evolving legal landscape surrounding transnational marriages involving Bangladeshi citizens, highlighting key legal frameworks, social barriers, and consequential issues emerging in cross-border by marital unions. As more Bangladeshi people move and live in other countries, marriage migration, and global mobility, Bangladesh’s family law system—anchored in religious personal codes and colonial-era statutes— struggles to adapt to transnational dynamics. Challenges include citizenship, marriage registration, inheritance, gendered discrimination, trafficking, forced and deceptive marital arrangements.......
