in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

This old law said that an Indian woman who married a U.S. citizen after August 9, 1888, automatically became a U.S. citizen herself, with all the same rights as any other married woman citizen. Her marriage did not take away or affect her right to any tribal property she already had.

Every Indian woman who was a member of an Indian tribe, and who married a U.S. citizen after August 9, 1888, automatically became a U.S. citizen through that marriage, with all the rights, privileges, and protections of any citizen who is a married woman. However, nothing in sections 181 through 183 of this title takes away or affects her right or title to any tribal property or interest in it that she already had.
