A judge in Malta has ordered government officials to issue the appropriate documentation to permit a transsexual woman to get married.
The court's ruling is the first of its kind in the country, which joined the EU in 2004.
The decision, taken yesterday, confirmed that as the woman had undergone gender reassignment surgery, her birth certificate should be changed to reflect her sex as legally female.
