Gay Pakistani Couple Jailed

Last week the court ruled that the husband was, in fact, a woman, despite sex-change surgery and that the couple had lied about his sexual status.

It also said that their marriage is un-Islamic because it of the same-sex.

Shumail Raj, 31, had sex-change surgery to become a man and then married his cousin who was aware of the condition but says she needed his help to avoid being forced into wedlock with someone else.

Shahzina also said that they are not homosexuals and they married because they are in love.

The two were arrested a fortnight ago after the bride's family complained.

The good news is that at least they did not get beheaded or stoned to death.

After reading all these comments has shown me that you all need to grow up. These is nothing wrong with pakistan and its people. They are being riduculed for something so small as two people wanting to get married as they love each other ... what ever they sexual perfernce is should not matter to you. The person who you sleep with is personal to you so why get in to other peoples lives. You don't know what kind of people they are.

@CalifaJohn Well, it's not mine. Mine is pure outa sickness for it. i do have gay friends and try to get them to see a better way, some are kind of coming around to the idea. Im only continuing the debate because you keep commenting. Why did they move here? No idea. Freedom? Not it, as never spoke of no freedom overseas.
