A Ugandan imam is facing life in prison after he accidentally married a man. Sheikh
Mohammed Mutumba exchanged vows with his ‘bride’, Swabullah Nabukeera, in an Islamic
ceremony. He met Nabukeera at a mosque and only ever saw them wearing a hijab or a
gomesi, a traditional Ugandan floor-length dress. Nabukeera was actually a cis man named
Richard Tumushabe, who had duped Mutumba in a bid to get his money. Tumushabe was
charged with unnatural offence, impersonation, theft and obtaining goods by false pretence – the latter charge referring to the dowry of two goats, two bags of sugar, three dresses, a carton of salt and a Koran. Although Mutumba committed no crime himself, and had actually sought counsel over his wife’s refusal to consummate the marriage, he has been taken to court and charged with having “carnal knowledge with a person against the order of nature”. The charge carries a potential penalty of life imprisonment.

It sounds sad and funny at the same time.

This is actually funny. It should happen more often. Of course, I can understand the risks of such impersonations.
Now they know how important it is to actually see the person you are dating.
Even if at times we, in non Muslim countries, find some men and women's display of their bodies scandalous, the human body should never be subjected to religious taboos

My questions is, was it that there were no courtship process before marriage? I mean this is a mere testament that people marry without even knowing totally the people they're getting married to. It's totally shameful. Anyway the truth is there's been a paradox in the process of law due to this miss understanding, in my opinion Richard Tumushabe should go to jail for deception.

Have to wonder what the groom thought he was getting from this marriage. Had he struggled to find someone who would marry him? It all sounds like the script for a comedy movie.
