Re Kevin

Re Kevin – Validity of Marriage of a Transsexual was a 2001 Australian court case brought before the Full Court of the Family Court of Australia regarding the possibility of transsexual people to marry according to their new sex. The court granted the applicant this right.

The case had impacts beyond Australia: for example, it was cited in the 2002 decision Goodwin v. United Kingdom of the European Court of Human Rights and the 2003 Michael Kantaras decision of the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. In both of these cases, the right to marry in their new sex was affirmed.
