Pakistan police bust Peshawar 'eunuch wedding'
[Al Arabiya Latest] A Pakistani court on Tuesday remanded in custody a portly fertilizer dealer and teenage eunuch for allegedly trying to marry in the Taliban bomb-hit city of Peshawar, police said.A portly fertilizer dealer and a teenage eunuch get married? And they're gay? And Pakistani? Sounds like sitcom gold! The alleged couple and dozens of guests were arrested when police raided a late-night party after a tip off that 42-year-old Malik Mohammad Iqbal Khan was trying to marry a 19-year-old eunuch, police said. "We arrested the bridegroom, the would-be bride and 41 others at the wedding party," local police station chief Shahid Khan told AFP in the working class neighborhood of Faqir Abad in the northwestern city. All of them were remanded in custody for one day on charges of attending an event that is "against Sharia " and "illegal", police said. ...and incredibly tacky. The fertilizer dealer, who already has two wives, denied he was marrying the eunuch it had only been a birthday party for Rani. Yeah, sure. Sounds like Malik was up for a walk on the wild side...
