Thai Man Stuck with His German Husband
BERLIN (Reuters) - 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.

That makes no sense at all. They say same-sex marriages are not recognized, yet that's what they did by granting a same-sex marriage that they will now not reverse.
That's like saying a 14 year old that said he was 18 to get a drivers license cannot now have his license revoked because 14 year olds are not allowed to get a license.
