Top German court okays "transsexual" to stay with wife

Karlsruhe, Germany - A man who has sought legal recognition as a woman will be allowed to stay married to his wife, Germany's constitutional court ruled Wednesday.

The top court ruled as unconstitutional legislation that would have effectively forced persons having sex changes to dissolve their marriages. The law only allows a sex change by single people.

The man, who was born in 1929, married 56 years ago and fathered three adult children, has felt for many years that he was really a woman, but he has an intact marriage which he does not want to abandon, the court heard.
