{{AFC comment|1=As of current version there are a number of problems with this draft. What stands out to me immediately is grammatical and logical problems at several locations and an overall tone of non-professional or non-encyclopedic level English. Flyer22 Frozen points out on the talk page some issues with notability and sourcing. Creator (Sharouser) should also note that it will be necessary to use the afc submission template per instructions at Wikipedia:Articles for creation and that they should not attempt to copy or move this to main article space. —DIYeditor (talk) 23:07, 30 June 2020 (UTC)}}

Transgender marriage is the marriage of two people, when at least one of them is transgender. Transgender people may marry cisgender or transgender people. Some transgenders tell their trans identity to their partner at a wedding, others did not identify as transgender at the wedding and later discovered their identity, the others hide their trans identity to their partner at the wedding.

Because same-sex marriage is not legalized in many jurisdictions, transgender people usually face special situations. There are many views on the legal gender of transgender persons. Some states do not allow a transgender person to change legal gender, others recognize a transgender's gender identity by request with requirements, other states view that the transgender person should automately become opposite sex by sex reassignment surgery.

In some jurisdictions, heterosexual marriage could be nullified by someone's sex change. A notable example is Lili Elbe. In 2017, Singapore nullified marriage between a post-op trans woman and a cis woman.{{Cite web|url=https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/rom-voids-marriage-between-same-sex-couple|title=ROM voids marriage between same-sex couple|date=July 18, 2017|website=The Straits Times}}

There have been instances where a non-transgender spouse wants to cancel their marriage or file for divorce upon becoming informed their spouse is transgender due to said spouse hiding their identity at the wedding ceremony. In some cases, a non-transgender spouse wants to cancel their marriage or file for divorce when they noticed their spouse is (post-transition) transgender and the spouse had hidden their gender history at the wedding ceremony.[https://www.jstor.org/stable/41415391?seq=1 Transgender Marriage and the Legal Obligation to Disclose Gender History] Married transgender people suffer divorces{{Cite web|url=https://www.huffpost.com/entry/honey-im-transgender-navigating-marriage-and_b_597937abe4b06b305561cdf4|title="Honey, I'm Transgender" – Navigating Marriage and Divorce when Your Spouse Reveals Their Truth|date=27 July 2017}} and some couples receive therapy to save their marriage.[https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/14681990903002748 Can this marriage be saved?
