Residency and Citizenship in the Dominican Republic
As for those inquiring about Dominican citizenship, you are entitled to citizenship by being the child of a Dominican citizen or through marriage. A foreign woman who marries a Dominican has the right to Dominican citizenship, though this does not work in reverse. A foreign man who marries a Dominican woman does not have an automatic right to Dominican citizenship.

My understanding is, a woman marrying a Dominican man does not have to wait for conditions whereas a foreign man marrying a Dominican woman does have the right to citizenship but it's not
automatic and he must meet the requirements below
Law 1683 dated 1948 and its modifications establishes that a person is eligible to obtain Dominican nationality after:
Having resided in the country for at least six months after having obtained legal domicile (permanent residence card).
Having resided continually in the country for at least two years.
Having resided continually in the country for at least six months and having formed a business or purchased real estate.
Having served in the Dominican Armed Forces.
Have obtained a special concession from the President which may be granted for having served the DR with merit.
