Ex-mosque Imam Fails Gender Change Effort
A former mosque imam in Jordan is involved in a case concerning his request to legally change his gender and official records from male to female after undergoing hormonal treatment and surgery outside Jordan. Although a primary court had approved the change in 2020, the Court of Appeal later overturned that decision, citing failure to meet legal requirements, emphasizing that the condition resulted from surgical interventions rather than a congenital defect. The court concluded that changing his gender in this case affects public order, and evidence showed that the plaintiff was a fully developed man at the time of the surgery, with two wives and children. Therefore, the court decided to deny the request for modification and to keep the official records as they are.
