And you think you have problems?!?

Divorce Act now reads ‘persons’

Madam Justice Laura Gerow made the ruling Thursday, “reading in” the new terminology, after hearing a divorce case involving two Nanaimo women.

J.S., who brought the divorce, and C.F. were married in July 2003, shortly after same-sex marriage was made legal in this province. The marriage ended in May 2004.

Although the couple met all the requirements to legally dissolve their union, the phrase “man and woman” prevented them from being granted a divorce.

Man! After all the struggles for legalising gay marriages everywhere, you'd think J.S. and C.F could've tried a bit longer at trying to make their marriage work...

Hmm. I'm not sure I'm taking your comment in the right sense. Is "they're female" by any chance the right answer? ;)

Ohh, you mean eXotica. I could swear when I first saw it, it read as something else!!! And if you both love lesbians, you might be on the wrong blog. Sorry to disappoint you like that.

And Anon, I didn't forget about the other blog. Some problems there, I guess. Not able to access the post page. I'm not one to forget ;)

One might have to rephrase that as "Man and woe-man" or "Man and whoa-man!"
