Delhi HC bins man’s plea to determine if wife is transgender

The Delhi High Court rejected a husband’s petition to have his estranged wife undergo a medical examination to determine if she is transgender. The court deemed it a purely matrimonial dispute and advised the husband to seek legal remedies instead. The husband claimed his wife hid her transgender identity before marriage, causing him mental trauma. The court noted the serious implications of the case and recommended legal action. The husband argued that his wife’s cases against him for maintenance and domestic violence should be dismissed as she is transgender, not a woman. The court suggested initiating appropriate legal proceedings to address the complex issues raised in the petition.
