"Last week, in a civil service, the writer Jan Morris remarried the wife she first married as a man. In 1949, James Morris, a young journalist, married Elizabeth Tuckniss, daughter of a tea planter. "I have lived with the same person for 58 years," Morris told reporters. "We were married when I was young. . . and then this sex-change, so-called, happened, so we naturally had to divorce ... but we always lived together, anyway. So, I wanted to round this thing off nicely. So last week, as a matter of fact, Elizabeth and I went and had a civil union."
