Pakistan 'same-sex' couple jailed

A Pakistani court has remanded a couple in custody after ruling that the husband was actually a woman and their same-sex marriage was against Islam.
The case is believed to be one of the first of its kind in the country.

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.
