True Love at Its Worst

2007 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

Indian severs off his genitals: A 29-year-old man, identified only as Chandra, has been admitted to the Adan Hospital after he allegedly severed his penis inside his home in Fintas after learning that his wife wanted to marry another man, reports Al-Qabas daily. The daily quoting a security source said the man during interrogation with police reportedly said he became desperate after receiving a letter from his wife back home in India seeking divorce to marry another man. The same source said surgeons at the Adan Hospital tried in vain to stitch the organ in its place.

Definitely Keep: Darwin Award
Not the greatest write-up in the world, but it qualifies, and I'm not going to cite mental illness as the cause because there's no evidence. A lot of Indians leave their homes to find work in the Middle East. Many, I'm sure, face similar predicaments with lonely wives and lovers, but few go to such extremes! Thanks, Erik!

Definitely Toss: Lacks Excellence
Cited mental illness or not, severing one's own penis (or any other part of the body) is a desperate act and requires medical/professional intervention.


Bruce said:
Definitely Toss: Not Amusing
I'm going to go with Graham on this one. Besides, this probably also qualifies as too common since we've had numerous other cases of similar self-mutilation submitted over the years.

If cutting one's own penis off is not the end of any opportunity for proceation, then what would qualify? We have had other cases of depenisifcation that has been passed on as a DA so I don't see why this one would be different. I agree with James that the write up could be improved, though. Thanks for the story, Erik
