Egyptian cuts off penis to torpedo marriage

Parents rejected the woman he was in love with.

The 25-year-old laborer cut off his genitals because he objected to his parents' choice of bride.

An Egyptian cut off his own penis on Sunday in protest at his parents' choice of bride, a police official said.

The 25-year-old laborer from the village of Sheikh Eissa in southern Egypt was taken to hospital in stable condition, the official said, adding that the man had also mutilated his testicles.

"He was in love with a woman but his parents rejected her and told him to marry another woman he didn't want.

He took a knife and cut off his penis in his room."Doctors were unable to reattach the severed member, the official said.

I just love this story.
