Transsexuals in limbo after landmark ruling


Transsexuals have been thrown into legal limbo after law lords refused to recognise the 22-year marriage of Elizabeth Bellinger, who was once a man.

Bellinger said on Thursday she might now take her case to the European courts to reverse the decision.

The British government is one of only four in Europe that still refuses to recognise sex changes. The others are Ireland, Albania and Andorra.
