An Iranian man has filed for divorce on the grounds that his wife used to be a man who had sex change operation, a press report said Sunday. The man, identified as Farhad, told the court he had learned only after marriage that his wife Mina was a transsexual, but tried to “cope with it” in the four years they have been married, the Etemad newspaper reported. But, infuriated by Mina’s recent complaint to the court to claim her dowry, the man sought to annul their marriage. “I asked around and learned our marriage is null and void,” he said. Mina said she does not want a divorce but only her dowry of 40 million rials (4,300 dollars). Iranian law allows transsexuals to have sex change operations and legally change their identities. Society, however, is hostile towards people with “confused sexuality”.
