Transgender man and wife jailed in Pakistan.

Every once in a while you come across a story and for whatever reason it makes you just start crying at your computer.
A Pakistani court has arrested a couple after “figuring out” that the husband, was actually transgender, thusly making him not a “real” man and them a same-sex couple, which is against the law.

The judge said the pair had lied over the husband’s gender, and a sex change operation the husband had had to become a man had not been done properly.
The couple told the court that they had got married so that the wife could avoid an arranged marriage.

The article says he married his cousin to protect her from an arranged marriage. I hate when they put something like that in, without elaborating.
If they are convicted of an “unnatural offense” aka, homosexuality, it is life sentence in prison.
