Namibia said Tuesday it had issued travel documents to twin infants of a gay couple born to a South African surrogate mother after weeks of legal wrangling.
Last month, a Windhoek High Court threw out a bid by the couple, 38-year-old Phillip Luehl and his Mexican husband Guillermo Delgado, 36, to force the government to issue the documents.
But a fresh court application on Monday saw the government backtracking even before the new case was heard.
The government said it received the applications for the travel certificates at a time when there was a change of guard in the home ministry.
