He Sues Lover After Sex Change Hitch
Mon Apr 25, 2005 08:29 AM ET
NEW DELHI (Reuters) - An Indian who became a man to marry a female relative was dumped after the surgery, a newspaper reported Monday.
Twenty-nine-year-old rubber tapper Kuttiyamma, born with both male and female genitals, had been in love with the relative, Laura, 25, for 15 years before having surgery to become a man and change her name to Binu, the Hindustan Times reported.
But Laura became engaged to another man and Binu is suing her for breach of trust after spending 50,000 rupees ($1,150) on the sex change in southern Kerala state.
"She had agreed to marry me after the surgery," the paper quoted Binu saying in the petition. "I took loans to pay the hospital bills."
Laura's fiance has since backed out of the wedding after hearing of Binu. The paper did not say how Laura and Kuttiyamma/Binu are related.

That's what you get for going to those family reunions looking to pick up a date . . . does the Indian culture have something similar to a banjo?

Many "traditional" people (to put it nicely) still marry cousins in south asia. I don't agree with it, because the mating increases the frequency of the deleterious, lethal alleles in the offspring... if I remember right from my population ecology class.... but hey, whatever floats your boat....

....family reunion......Banjo 
Excuse me, but her name is "Laura"? Doesn't that sound a little Americanized, meaning she should know a little better about incest? 
I know, I'm jumping into conclusion here.

Dueling Sitars?
