A Somalian man identified only as Abdirahman, has been arrested for pretending to be a bridesmaid at a recent traditional wedding ceremony.
The National reports that before his arrest, the man who bears the same name with bride's husband stayed with the newly wedded couple for more than three weeks after the wedding still posing as a woman.
According to the Somali culture, the maid of honor not only assists the bride during the wedding but also helps in setting up her new house after the wedding, so Abdirahman stayed back. But he is suspected to have an affair with the new bride who may have known his true gender all along.
Abdirahman was only arrested after his mother blew his cover.
Narrating the unusual occurrence to Somali Cable, the groom identified as Abdirahman Ismail, said he never knew the bridesmaid was indeed a woman as he had worn makeup looking like a woman.
'A woman claiming to be his mother came to our house and asked if we have seen her son named Abdirahman. I told her we have never seen her son and the only person living with us was a girl named Asma.
'That's when the woman told me that Asma is actually her son, Abdirahman,' the groom said.
After finding out the bridesmaid was indeed a man, the groom reported the incident to police who arrested him and the bride.
The groom is said to be planning to divorce the wife after the embarrassment she caused him.
