Is it legal anywhere in the world for a man to marry a transsexual or have 3 way marriage?

Answer 1

First of all -- we're talking about civil marriage, not religious marriage.

In the United States, some states require a couple to file as "husband" and "wife," so only opposite-sex couples can get married. In other states, the couple are simply "spouse" and "spouse", and same-sex marriage is allowed. Civil marriages among 3 or more people are not legal anywhere in the U.S.

I'm not sure people realize that when a person surgically corrects his or her sex, that change is also reflected on their identification (driver's license, passport, etc.). Therefore, when a person who was born a man becomes a woman, legally speaking, she is then free to marry a man, even in states where same-sex marriage is prohibited.

As far as the rest of t he world is concerned I really do not know. In Mexico City, same sex marriages are allowed, and people who are transsexuals can marry either people of their new sex, or different sex, since their identity, is changed, and all their documents need to be changed according to their new sexual identity.

In some countries, polygamous marriages are traditional and common, so they are legal. I believe Nepal is one such country. I've heard that it is traditional for two brothers to marry the same woman.

Answer 2

If it is a transsexual woman, then she can marry a man anywhere she can get her birth certificate corrected to match her nature and corrected genitals. Short of that, she might be able to marry a man where same-sex marriage is allowed. She may consider that an insult, but it works.

As for 3-way marriage, that might be allowed in places where certain religious sects dominate the legal arena. Islam allows up to 4 wives in countries where that is legal, while just one is preferred. In the past in the US, the fundamentalist sect of the Latter Day Saints also allowed polygamy until the US government put a stop to it. Polygamy is illegal in most parts of the world.
