A court has backed the Director of Public Registry who will not release marriage banns for a transsexual woman and her male partner in Malta.
In February 2007 Justice Gino Camilleri ordered the director, Anthony Geraldi, to issue the banns on the grounds that the union is legal.
He ruled, as the bride to be has now become a woman, there was no contravention of marriage legislation.
