CAIRO (AP) — A 25-year-old Egyptian man cut off his own penis to spite his family after he was refused permission to marry a girl from a lower-class family, police reported Sunday.

After unsuccessfully petitioning his father for two years to marry the girl, the man heated up a knife and sliced off his reproductive organ, a police official said.

The young man came from a prominent family in the southern Egyptian province of Qena, one of Egypt's poorest and most conservative areas that is also home to the famed ancient Egyptian ruins of Luxor.

The man was rushed to the hospital, but doctors were unable to reattach the severed member, the official added, citing the police report filed after the incident.

The official, who spoke to the Associated Press on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak with the press, added that the man was still recovering in the hospital.

Traditionally, marriages in these conservative parts of southern Egypt are between similar social classes and often within the same extended families — and are rarely for love.


*I laughed so hard when I read this. He took the idea of cutting off the nose to spite the face too literally. But I think he proved to the girl how much he really loved her How many guys here would do that to show their love? What is the most extreme thing you would do to show someone you love them?*

love never catch me reach that level. i pray it never does.

After this, what has he left to show love to his future wife (whether the one he is dying for now or any other one.)? This is a real kolomental guy.

d man is a fool 4 doing dat abi u female can cut ur breast for love?

That's the stupidest thing anyone one earth will ever do.
He hasn't spite anyone, but himself. Is it his father who will not enjoy sex anymore?
I wonder why people never think before they do things.
He is in pain now, the trauma which will follow will be worse-not being able to enjoy God given pleasure anymore, and worse still;

The girl he's in love with will eventually leave him. How can you be with a penis-less guy for long? stupid slowpoke!!!

What is the most extreme thing you would do to show someone you love them?*

Threaten my family members that I would jump from a height, or into the ocean. . But I know them, they would just laugh because they know I can't do it.

A very STUPID boy indeed.
