Constitutional Court (AYM) reversed the local court decree which denied the claim for an applicant, who was recorded as a female in the citizenship identity, to transfer into a male identity. The court further repealed the related law article that the denial was based on.
The high court decided that the ‘right of protection and development of material and moral assets’ protected by Article 17 of the Constitution, was violated. Furthermore, the provision on the ability to reproduce, that was shown as reason for the denial of the applicant’s claim, was repealed due to contradiction with the Constitution.
