'A Sudanese man has been forced to take a goat as his wife, after he was caught having sex with the animal. The goat's owner, Mr. Alifi, said he surprised the man with his goat and took him to a council of elders.
They ordered the man, Mr. Tombe, to pay a dowry of 15,000 Sudanese dinars ($ 50) to Mr. Alifi.
"We have given him the goat, and as far as we know they are still together", Mr. Alifi said.'
(I know, this is terrible and all, but I could not stop laughing!)
This website was invented many years ago, when the author kept coming across interesting things in pockets whilst doing laundry. Like small, terrified reptiles. Blogging about raising children in the rainforest, moving them to the UK and watching them leave home one by one to have their own adventures has gradually been replaced by a return to grownup life for their mother, Nan Sheppard, who is an anthropologist, writer and public international law consultant.
