‘Fiancee’ actually a man
`An Egyptian man discovered on his wedding day that his fiancee of three years was a man who had been concealing his identity behind a veil.
The 26-year-old groom-to-be, Tamer Shehata, was notified by a female guest attending his wedding that his would-be wife was a man in women’s clothing. [..]
Mr Abo Zeid, whose face was obscured to Mr Shehata by a niqab or burka (face veil) said he had intended to tell after they were married, and had hoped to convince Mr Shehata to consummate the marriage.
Mr Abo Zeid was held for 45 days on charges of swindling and posing as a woman.’
