very possibly the weirdest news story of the year


Sudan man forced to 'marry' goat

A Sudanese man has been forced to take a goat as his "wife", after he was caught having 'relations' with the animal.

They ordered the man to pay a dowry of 15,000 Sudanese dinars ($50) to the owner.

...as far as we know they are still together," Mr Alifi said.

Mr Alifi called elders to decide how to deal with the case. "They said I should not take him to the police, but rather let him pay a dowry for my goat because he used it as his wife," Mr Alifi told the newspaper.
