A Sudanese man who was caught raping a goat has been forced
to marry the goat in line with a law in that country that stipulates that any
man caught sleeping with a woman who is not his wife must marry her to save the
honour of her family.
Unfortunately for Charles Tombe, he was caught having sex
with the female goat and was forced to consummate the 'love' relationship with
it to save its honour as a form of restitution.
On the day of the bizarre wedding, he and his 'bride' were
clad in matching outfits as they walked before the village council to celebrate
the happy union, after he had paid a dowry to the owner of he goat.
The goat’s owner, identified as Mr Alifi, said he was the
one who caught the man with his goat and took him to a council of elders and
the council ordered Tombe, to pay a dowry of 15,000 Sudanese dinars ($50) to
Alifi.
Alifi, of Hai Malakal in Upper Nile State, told the Juba
Post newspaper that he heard a loud noise around midnight on 13 February and
immediately rushed outside to find Tombe with his goat.
“We have given him the goat, and as far as we know they are
still together,” Alifi said.
