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.
Why label this as a "liberal attitude"? To me it's just a feature of a
typical backwards conservative patriarchal culture.
My thoughts exactly.
Given the laws of the Sudan, Mr. Tombe *could* have been *executed*.
Sparing his life was a *very* "Liberal Attitude"! <grin>
