A gender reassigned woman yesterday filed a constitutional application requesting the court to order the Director of Public Registry to issue marriage banns allowing her to marry her fiancé after she was banned from doing so by a court of appeal.
The writ was filed in the First Hall of the Civil Courts against the Director of Public Registry.
Joanne Cassar, 27, from Cospicua, had undergone gender reassignment surgery and filed an application in the First Hall of the Civil Court to change the name from Joseph to Joanne and the sex entry on her birth certificate from male to female.
