Self castrationA 25 year old man in Egypt has emasculated himself after his parents chose a bride for him.

The unnamed man is reported to be in love with another woman, but his parents didn’t agree with his choice and fixed him up with someone else. In a fit of temper the labourer from Sheikh Eissa in southern Egypt took a knife, sliced off his penis and mutilated his genital sack.

The Australian reports that he was rushed to hospital but surgeons were unable to reattach his severely damaged reproductive gland.

“He was in love with a woman but his parents rejected her and told him to marry another woman he didn’t want. He took a knife and cut off his penis in his room” a hospital official told the press.
