Hong Kong transsexual battles for right to marry...

A Hong Kong transsexual was preparing Wednesday for a High Court battle for the right to marry a man after having a sex change operation to become a woman.

The transsexual, who is in her 20s and has asked to remain anonymous, has been told she cannot marry her boyfriend because Hong Kong law only recognises marriages between a couple born as male and female.

She has now won leave for a judicial review of the ruling by the Registrar of Marriages in a landmark hearing.

Marriages of transsexuals to people of their original gender are possible in Japan, South Korea, Singapore and parts of mainland China as well as countries in Europe. More...
