Virginia state officials are in real trouble. Turned out, that they had unknowingly and unlawfully legalized their marriage 2 gentlemen – one of the newlyweds pretended to be a woman perfectly. Justin McCain i Antonio E. Blount got married at the Newport registry office – reports CNN. Just after 10 minutes they were husband and wife. The ceremony did not stand out with anything special and no one would notice it, had it not turned out a few weeks later, that the bride is… Mr.. Justin, or maybe “Justine”, showed a driving license, where the gender field was completely illegible due to the state seal placed in the same place. Officials did not realize, that McCain wasn't born a woman. The hoax only came to light, when Justin decided to change his name. Penelopsky Aaryonna Goldberry sounded so unusual, that officials decided to take a closer look ”woman” and checked the North Carolina birth register, McCain's hometown. – Things continue their course. If there is no reason to suspect, that someone is dishonest, you may not have time to check everything – says Rex Davis, clerk, which gives approx 2200 weddings. This is just the beginning of the problems of a couple in love and officials. Gay marriage is prohibited in Virginia. However, it is not certain, whether annulment of the marriage and a lawsuit against the newlyweds for deliberate misrepresentation is at all possible. If McCain is a transgender person and identifies as a woman, it will not be possible to make an objection. Federal law prohibits discrimination on the basis of gender, that is, gender.
However, the term is so vague, that lawyers will have a long time to think about, how to solve the situation. Especially, that the main interested ones disappeared just as quickly, how they got married.
The bride turned out to be… man
