Wives can be men and husbands could be women under bizarre word play introduced by the government.
The introduction of gay marriage means old laws which gave protections or benefits to husbands or wives will become outdated.
So ministers have drawn up ‘gobbledegook’ rules which overrule the dictionary and scrap the centuries-old definitions of male and female spouses.
The Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Bill is due to complete its final stages through Parliament this summer.
But updated guidance issued in ‘explanatory notes’ reveals the baffling explanation of how ‘husband’ and ‘wife’ will become interchangeable.
It sets out how every mention of a marriage in any existing laws must now be considered to include same sex marriages, in addition to a wedding between a man and a woman.
And where legislation refers to a ‘husband’ or a ‘wife’ it must now be taken to mean either a man or a woman who has tied the knot.
The Offices, Shops and Railway Premises Act 1963 states that health and safety rules need not apply if the only person employed to work there is the ‘husband, wife, civil partner ……of the person by whom they are so employed’.
The new guidance states: ‘This means that “husband” here will include a man or a woman in a same sex marriage, as well as a man married to a woman.
‘In a similar way, “wife” will include a woman married to another woman or a man married to a man.
