Pakistan’s Supreme Court on Thursday ordered the release of a transman and his wife jailed in May for perjury.
Female-to-male transsexual Shumail Raj, 31, and his wife Shahzina Tariq, 24, were sent to jail when a Lahore court ruled Raj was still biologically a woman despite two surgeries.
Judge Khawaja Sharif ruled that the couple had broken the law by lying about the gender of Raj, whom Tariq said she wed to avoid being forced into an arranged marriage. At the time of the marriage, she claimed to be unaware that Raj was born female.
The judge also deemed their relationship un-Islamic.
