This is a tad confusing. My own reading of the matter is that "statutory" relates to Laws; those NOT relating to Common Law etc etc etc. One may it seems become a Citizen due to the Statutes(Laws) relating to the acquiring of Citizenship as referenced by others here--quite usefully...they would then be "Naturalised" or even "recognised" but "Statutory"?? The other common occurrance of "Statutory" in the media of late is in reference to "Satutory rape"; I have however never heard of a Statutory rapist....the term relates to the Law; not the offender.
