Ugandan imam is suspended after finding out his wife of two weeks was actually a man

Dumfuk, 27, says he had no idea his bride was a man when they married

A Ugandan imam has been suspended after discovering his new wife was actually a man. Sheikh Mohammed Mutumba, 27, found out the truth when his bride was caught stealing a TV from a neighbour and was searched by police.

The thief later admitted pretending to be a woman so he could marry the imam and steal his money, local media in Kayunga reported. Shocked Mutumba has been suspended from his duties as a cleric at the Kyampisi Masjid Noor mosque while an investigation is carried out.

He claimed he hadn't been intimate with his 'wife' since the wedding two weeks before because she told him she was menstruating. Mutumba said he thought he was marrying a woman called Swabullah Nabukeera when they wed in a traditional Islamic ceremony in December.
