Captain Arthur Cameron Corbett, 3rd Baron Rowallan (17 December 1919 – 1993), was a British aristocrat most notable for successfully having his second marriage annulled in 1970 by a court on the grounds that his wife, April Ashley, a transsexual woman, was a man under then-current UK law.〔(New show on identity asks why we are as we are | Reuters )〕〔(British transsexuals get wedding rights back - World News | IOL News | IOL.co.za )〕 The argument was accepted, and the case served as a precedent for all such cases until the Gender Recognition Act 2004 was passed, which provided the needed legal framework for changing a person's legal gender. With his first wife, Eleanor Mary Boyle, whom he married in 1945 and divorced in 1961, Lord Rowallan had four children: * John Polson Cameron Corbett (born 8 March 1947), who became the 4th Baron on his father's death * Sarah Elizabeth Cameron Corbett (born 5 April 1949) * Anne Mary Cameron Corbett (born 3 September 1953) * Rosalind Eleanor Cameron Corbett (born 2 January 1958) He succeeded Thomas Corbett as the 3rd Baron Rowallan on 30 November 1977. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Arthur Corbett, 3rd Baron Rowallan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
