Quote:
Ginday, of Victory Lane, had flown to attend his arranged wedding to Varkha, 24, from India, at a lavish ceremony attended by up to 700 guests last year.

But he had told a friend he was attracted to men as early as 2008, said prosecutor Deborah Gould.


The whole arranged marriage thing has caused more misery than the happiness it could ever hope to achieve.

I read that and thought "wtf?!?" I can't believe he deliberately set out to screw up someone's like by marrying them. I know in some cultures being gay is still taboo but surely it would have been better for his family to accept him rather than have him a murderer. Having said that i have heard of "honour killings" and the like.

"So I can be known as gay or known as a murderer.
I choose murderer."

What a dick.

We have bad a spate of honour killings over the last few years, with brothers/fathers killing their sisters/daughters, because they dared to go out with German boys and not stick to their own race. :(

Actually, it's going to be "So I can be known as gay or known as gay and a murderer" because that was always going to come out in court.
