They had to destroy marriage in order to save it

From the Houston Chronicle:

    The family of a Wharton firefighter who died battling a massive egg farm blaze is fighting to keep his widow from receiving death benefits, arguing that the 37-year-old had found out his bride of two years was born a man.

It's an open-and-shut case. By Littleton vs Prange (1999), in the Appellant Court of Texas, this woman is actually a man, and her marriage void.

Marriage Licences, Birth Certificates and legalities mean nothing when the victim is trans or intersexed.
