A MAN whose bride did not tell him she had AIDS has lost a battle to have his marriage declared void.

The court case is believed to be the first of its kind in Australia.

A court heard that the wife, in her 30s, was diagnosed with AIDS in 2006.

The husband, in his 50s, said that if he had known she had AIDS he never would have married her the following year.
