An Egyptian man discovered on his wedding day that his fiancee of three years was a man who had been concealing his identity behind a veil.
The 26-year-old groom-to-be, Tamer Shehata, was notified by a female guest attending his wedding that his would-be wife was a man in women's clothing.
When Mr Shehata confronted his fiancee, he broke down and revealed that he was actually an 18-year-old man called Ahmed Abo Zeid.
Mr Abo Zeid confessed that he had tried several times to undergo a sex change but had failed to secure doctors' approval.
Mr Abo Zeid, whose face was obscured to Mr Shehata by a niqab or burka (face veil) said he had intended to tell after they were married, and had hoped to convince Mr Shehata to consummate the marriage.
