Thai Man Stuck with His German Husband

A Thai man who masqueraded as a woman to wed a German man has failed to get the marriage annulled, and now seems saddled with his husband.
A German court dismissed the Thai's request for an annulment because same-sex marriages are not recognized in Germany, and therefore cannot be reversed.

"I don't know why they got married, whether it was love or the desire for a residence permit," said Ulrich Skwirblies, a spokesman for the court in the western town of Celle.

The 42-year-old Thai married the man in Denmark under a false name in 1994 and was later granted German residency.

Hmmm... so basically, he is recognised as married legally, as they were not the same sex when they married, but he cannot annul his marriage because the law does not recognise same-sex mariages. Reminds me of that U2 song, stuck in a moment you can't get out of.
