(3) If, after a person who was not a citizen (hereinafter
referred to as “previous non-citizen”) is registered as a citizen on the basis of
his marriage to a citizen (hereinafter referred to as “spouse”), the Minister is
satisfied that the marriage was for the convenience of the previous non-citizen
obtaining citizenship, the Minister may revoke the registration of citizenship
granted to the previous non-citizen. A divorce or separation between the
previous non-citizen and the spouse within four years of the grant of such
registration of citizenship shall raise a presumption (and only a presumption
rebuttable by evidence to the contrary) that the marriage was for such
convenience.
(4) A revocation of citizenship pursuant to subsection (3) of
this section shall not affect any rights or privileges enjoyed by the person
whose citizenship is revoked where any such right or privilege was perfected
prior to the revocation thereof.
