The court ruled out the annulment of a couple's marriage in Singapore after her husband changed sex

The Singapore authorities canceled marriage to a couple after their husband changed sex. Faith and Bryce Volta got married in 2015, but Faith later went through a sex change operation, so her identity acts are now referred to as female sex. A couple in Singapore filed a lawsuit after the court ruled that their marriage was canceled because the husband changed sex, the lawyer said on Monday, writes agerpres. The Singapore authorities explained that due to husbands' sex change surgery, the union was assimilated to a same-sex marriage in Singapore, where the attitude towards homosexuality is extremely conservative. And so, about a year ago, the court ruled out marriage annulment. Faith and Bryce Volta married in 2015, six months later, civil-status services called the couple and informed him of the annulment of marriage.

The two lodged an appeal with the High Court to ask for re-registration of their marriage in the civil register, confirmed lawyer Eugene Thuraisingam, whose office is plaintiffs free of charge. .
