Jordanian Imam Seeks Female Gender Change
The case concerns an attempt by a 47-year-old Jordanian mosque imam, known as "Ahmed" and living with a female identity under the name "Aisha," to change his official records from male to female after undergoing surgery in Thailand. Although the lower court approved the request based on medical reports and biological reasons, the Court of Appeal held a session on the matter and confirmed that the case was due to surgical procedures rather than correction of a congenital defect, and that the Civil Status Law prohibits modifications of official records except in specific cases. Ultimately, the Court of Cassation rejected the appeal submitted by the plaintiff, maintaining the official records as they were, despite his living with a female identity, being married to two wives, and having six children.
