Imagine living in a country and being married to an Indian national for 22 years, and you still don't have your citizenship. This is happening for  Rukhsana Begum. She is originally a  Pakistani national but she has been living in India, married to  Khawaza Mubark and has four children in India. She has applied for an Indian citizenship but has been only delay for  a while. She told Indian media, "Just because of me, all my family members are suffering." She said this after she was denied to enter the Attari international railway station while on her way to visit Pakistan. She was asked to board the Delhi-Attari train to reach Attari railway station. When she arrived, she would board Samjhauta Express. Begum's husband said that they do not have any problems except that her citizenship is being delayed. I think that this is unfair because after 22 years, it just becomes ridiculous. I understand that it does take a while to gain your citizenship but she applied after staying the mandatory period of seven years. It has been 15 years since then. Do you think that this is fair or
