Strangely

An Indian man has filed a complaint against his wife, her family and their marriage mediator for allegedly tricking him into marrying a transgender person. A resident of Kanpur City, in India’s Uttar Pradesh state, recently visited a local police station to file a First Information report (FIR) against his wife of nearly two months, her family and the marriage mediator, for failing to mention that the woman was transgender. He accused his in-laws of deceiving both him and his family by not revealing his wife’s original gender at the time of the marriage, on April 28. The unnamed man…
A U.S. intelligence assessment released to Congress on Friday confirmed that military pilots over the years had observed, and in some cases recorded, more than 100 instances of high-speed craft whose origin could not be traced or identified. The nine-page report, titled a preliminary assessment, is the first official U.S. government recognition of the sightings of unidentified flying objects after decades of speculation and fascination among believers of UFOs and ridicule by others who dismissed the notion of alien spacecraft visiting Earth. The highly anticipated report said its findings were drawn from 144 reports stemming from multiple U.S. government sources.…
A proposal by the South African government to legalise polyandry - when a woman has more than one husband at the same time - has led to howls of protest from conservative quarters. This does not surprise Collis Machoko, a renowned academic on the topic. The objections are "about control," he told the BBC. "African societies are not ready for true equality. We don't know what to do with women we cannot control." South Africa has one of the world's most liberal constitutions, embracing same-sex marriages for all and polygamy for men. Businessman and TV personality Musa Mseleku - who…
A bride-to-be in India reportedly refused to go through with the marriage after she discovered that the groom had weak eyesight and needed to use glasses to read a newspaper.

The marriage appears to have been arranged by the families involved, according to a report from The Times of India on Thursday. Arranged marriages are still common on the Indian subcontinent. The bride's family reportedly paid…

Man dies, leaves behind 38 widows

An Indian man believed to be the head of the world’s largest family has died leaving behind roughly 38 wives, 89 children and 33 grandchildren. Ziona Chana would often forget how many wives and children he had after becoming a household name in the state of Mizoram. His four-storey home in Baktawng village had been a tourist attraction for years. He died in hospital from age-related health complications at 76. Chana belonged to a sect created by his grandfather which allowed polygamy for men. He married his first wife, Zathiangi, when he was 17. She still runs the show as…
In what can probably described as the weirdest wedding ceremony of 2021, so far, an Indian man ended up marrying the bride’s sister, after his betrothed succumbed to a heart attack during the wedding. The bizarre incident took place last week, in Uttar Pradesh’s Etawah district. The young bride, Surabhi, suddenly fell unconscious right next to the groom, Manjesh Kumar, right before the ‘pheras’ ceremony, an important ritual in Hindu weddings. The woman reportedly said that she felt unwell and then collapsed. An ambulance was called, but all paramedics could do was confirm the young woman’s death. One would assume…
Utah police in the United States said they got "quite a surprise" when they found a nine-year-old girl driving a car with her four-year-old sister in the passenger seat early on Wednesday morning.

They drove on two major roads, hit another car and then crashed head-on into a lorry, police said on Twitter. The sisters were both wearing their seatbelts and were not hurt. Utah's West Valley City Police Department said the girls woke up at about 3am on Wednesday, and took the…
Multiple reports suggest Boris Johnson is experiencing serious money problems. They claim that his recent divorce, multiple children, and reduced income have left him severely hard up. The reports come amid other claims that he has sought to use donors to pay for his living costs. Yet those who know Johnson well believe there is a much simpler explanation for him claiming hardship. Boris Johnson has told friends that he is experiencing serious money problems. Multiple reports suggest that the UK Prime Minister's financial situation has led to him attempting, and in some cases succeeding, to use donations from the…
A bride in India recently married a wedding guest after the groom disappeared from the wedding venue.

It turns out that the groom did not mysteriously disappear; he had actually planned to run from the wedding, and not get married. Someone at the wedding suggested that the bride should find another suitable man to be the groom, and…
