Manama, Bahrain (AHN) – A Bahraini lawyer has become the first woman in the Gulf to have won two cases of sex change, fighting all the odds in a society which considers it taboo.
On Sunday, Fouzia Mohammed Janahi won a landmark judgment after the lower court here gave the green light for her client Hussain Rabie to change his name in passports and other official documents. Hussain, formerly known as Zainab, was officially declared a man by the Higher Court in June and was only waiting for his new identity on papers.
