In a shocking story emanating from Somalia, a man
has been arrested for pretending to be a bridesmaid at a recent traditional
wedding ceremony. Before his arrest, the man identified as Abdirahman who bears
the same name with bride's husband stayed with the newly wed couple for more
than three weeks still posing as a woman. According to the Somali culture, the
maid of honor not only assists the bride during the wedding but also helps in
setting up her new house. Abdirahman was only arrested after his mother blew
his cover.
Narrating the unusual occurrence to Somali Cable, the groom identified as Abdirahman Ismail, said he never knew the bridesmaid was indeed a woman as he had worn makeup looking like a woman.
'A woman claiming to
be his mother came to our house and asked if we have seen her son named
Abdirahman. I told her we have never seen her son and the only person living
with us was a girl named Asma.
'That's when the
woman told me that Asma is actually her son, Abdirahman,' the groom said.
After finding out the
bridesmaid was indeed a man, the groom reported the incident to police who
arrested him and the bride. The groom is said to be planning to divorce the
wife after the embarrassment she caused him.
