Court Stays 2nd Marriage of wife of woman-turned-man New Delhi, India A woman changed her sex and married his girlfriend. Undeterred by the new 'sexual status' of their son-in-law, the parents of the girl try to marry off their daughter. But to no avail. A Delhi Court has restrained the parents from marrying off their daughter as she is already married and her marriage is registered in the court. Ananay Kakkar, who became a male through sex-change operation, had married Deepak Sharma but when he came to know that his partner was going to be re-married, he approached the court which stayed the second marriage of Sharma. "...ex-parte order is granted to the effect that the defendant (Sharma) is restrained from contracting second marriage till the next date," Civil Judge Anu Geover Baliga said in her order yesterday restraining the re-marriage of the woman which was fixed for today. The court fixed January two as the next date of hearing on the matter stating that if Sharma was not available, the summons should be affixed at the address furnished by Kakkar about his wife. Kakkar had approached the court claiming that he had married Sharma according to the Hindu Rights and ceremonies at a Temple in Ghaziabad on Nov 26 last year after becoming male by operation three-and-half years ago. He alleged that his wife was forcibly kept away from him by his in-laws and they secretly prepared for her second marriage.
