A man wants to marry his ‘porn-filled’ laptop computer – but unsurprisingly is having some trouble.

Chris Sevier has launched a challenge in the courts after Utah officials denied his request to wed his MacBook.

The former lawyer argued his affection for his ‘machine spouse’ was exactly the same as that of gay couples, who are also not allowed to get married in the state.

Mr Sevier had piggybacked on to a court action that was challenging the ban of same-sex unions in Utah.


‘They discriminated against me when they rejected my request to marry my computer,’ he wrote in his 50-page motion.



‘I approached the Utah clerk to have a marriage licence issued for me and my machine-spouse.

‘The clerk denied my request for a marriage licence … my object of affection was outside the scope of the narrow definition.’

This is not the first time Mr Sevier has caused controversy in the courts.

He previously blamed Apple for causing his porn addiction because it didn’t put a ‘safe mode’ on his laptop.
