Question 7
7. Lloyd had a long-time crush with his childhood friend Miggy. Lloyd
always dreamed of building a family with Miggy but Philippine laws
disapprove of same-sex marriages. Lloyd then migrated and established a
career in Sweden. After several years, Lloyd applied for naturalization and
was granted Swedish citizenship. Lloyd underwent gender-affirming
surgery to resemble the woman gender identity. Lloyd also changed his
sex from “male” to “female” and his name from “Lloyd” to “Laida”
pursuant to Swedish law. Thereafter, Laida returned to the Philippines and
married Miggy. Is the marriage between Miggy and Laida valid?
