A transsexual who won a birth certificate battle, having undergone gender reassignment surgery is now requesting the court to order the public registry to issue marriage banns.

In June 2006, the court ordered the public registry to change her name from Joseph to Joanne and the sex entry on her birth certificate from male to female.

Then, Joanne Cassar, 27, from Cospicua, has asked the Marriage Registrar to issue marriage banns for her and her fiance but the registrar refused, so she filed an application asking the court to orders the banns to be issued.
