Abstract

The article examines the procedure and legal consequences of gender reassignment by persons who have reached the age
of majority and a person who is married in the Republic of Belarus. Change of gender by one of the married persons is contrary
to legal and moral and ethical standards and should be considered as grounds for termination of marriage.

Based on the analysis of the norms of the legislation of the Republic of Belarus, international normative legal acts,
statistical data and existing practice, the author concludes that it is necessary to amend part 1 of article 34 “Termination of
marriage” of the Code of the Republic of Belarus on Marriage and Family.
