Attorney General appeals in transsexual marriage case

http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20101221/local/attorney-general-appeals-in-transgender-marriage-case

The Attorney General has filed an appeal from a court sentence which had granted Joanne Cassar the right to marry a man after her gender reassignment surgery.

The case goes back to September 2006 when Ms Cassar and her then partner applied for marriage banns. The Marriage Registrar refused to issue the banns even though Ms Cassar had legally changed her gender to female on her birth certificate after the surgery.

[...]

Ms Cassar had expressed fears that an appeal would be filed, adding: "I've been through the experience".
