-- QUEBEC CITY -- A retired Swedish professor and his wife who suffers from "morbid obesity" have been temporarily allowed to remain in Canada because it will be too expensive and possibly unsafe to deport her.**********
The 310-pound Malle suffers from "morbid obesity and is in bed all day," the court was told, adding she has been bedridden for six years and doctors visit her at home.
The couple were granted a two-year extension to their visitor's visa on appeal to the court.
