That wasn't the question posed whether she specifically should be given a French citizenship, my question is more off if a woman, any random woman (or man for that matter) chooses to live a specific lifestyle that is extremely submissive that it can be viewed as abusive by an outsider, should she/he be denied that freedom and be French or citizen of whatever country she/he lives in?

Often, I've heard people view bdsm as a psychological defect that some people have, yet most people here are quite sane, and many have relationships much better then vanilla relationships.

I was probably not clear in my first post, that news article just led me to think about different circumstances where someone who practises some from of bdsm could be affected.
