Challenge: Chris Sevier, who wants to marry his laptop, has claimed he should be allowed the same rights as same-sex couples

An army veteran has challenged a court decision denying him the right to marry his laptop in a bizarre case that loosely resembles the plot of Oscar-winning film Her.



Chris Sevier has filed a motion to the 10th US Circuit Court of Appeal arguing that if same-sex couples are allowed to wed, he should be able to tie the knot with his Macbook.

The amateur model claims computers are his 'preferred sexual object' and enjoys sex with the devices more than with 'real women'.



He tried to marry the device, which he says is laden with porn, but the licence was rejected by Utah officials on the grounds of 'sexual orientation'.

The case bears similarities to Her, a Spike Jonze film in which the protagonist, played by Joaquin Phoenix, falls in love with his operating system (voiced by Scarlett Johansson). Jonze picked up the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay.



In Sevier's motion, which is 50 pages long, Mr Sevier states: 'They discriminated against me when they rejected my request to marry my computer.

'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.

'If gays have the right to “marry their object of sexual desire, even if they lack corresponding sexual parts, then I should have the right to marry my preferred sexual object,' he added.
