This is the important part. Has she been registered? her solicitor states that she is not a dual national, so it would appear she has not been.

The way I read it was that if the mother or father were born outside of Bangladesh then they cannot provide citizenship by descent unless one of the rules apply.

the sentence "that person shall not be a citizen of Bangladesh by virtue of this section unless"
