Transgender person has rights under DV Act once gender is chosen: HC
The Bombay high court has ruled that a transgender person can claim compensation under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, rejecting a man's appeal against paying maintenance to his transgender partner. The court held that the Act was gender neutral and the man could not refuse to pay maintenance on the grounds that the transgender person was not a woman and had undergone gender reassignment surgery. The ruling noted that a transgender person who has undergone surgery to change gender to female is an "aggrieved person" under the Act.
