The family of a Druze woman who secretly married a Sunni Muslim man outside her faith dragged the new groom into the square of their Lebanese village then brutally beat him and severed his penis, according to Lebanese media reports. This because the bride’s family was so angry she had married outside the Druze religion.
The victim, 39-year-old Rabih Ahmad told Al-Jadeed TV that the attackers were his wife’s father and brother, adding “they cut it off to set an example.” ------ An Nahar reports that the relatives also pulled out several of the groom’s teeth in the attack which took place last Monday.
His family called the attack “an unpardonable and hideous crime.”
A resident of the village of Baysour told the Daily Star that the newlywed bride and her male relatives haven’t been seen since the attack.
