Indian sues lover after sex change hitch
NEW DELHI, Monday (Reuters) - An Indian who became a man to marry a
female relative was dumped after the surgery, a newspaper reported on
Monday.
Twenty-nine-year-old rubber tapper Kuttiyamma, born with both male
and female genitals, had been in love with the relative, Laura, 25, for
15 years before having surgery to become a man and change her name to
Binu, the Hindustan Times reported.
But Laura became engaged to another man and Binu is suing her for
breach of trust after spending 50,000 rupees ($1,150) on the sex change
in southern Kerala state.
"She had agreed to marry me after the surgery," the paper quoted Binu
saying in the petition.
"I took loans to pay the hospital bills."
Laura's fiance has since backed out of the weeding after hearing of
Binu. The paper did not say how Laura and Kuttiyamma/Binu are related. |
