A 25-year-old Egyptian man cut off his own penis to spite his family after he was refused permission to marry a girl from a lower class family, police reported on Sunday. After unsuccessfully petitioning his father for two years to marry the girl, the man heated up a knife and sliced off his reproductive organ, said a police official.

Sorry for the one liner but OUCH!

good news is we've found your penis bad news is

The man was rushed to hospital, but doctors were unable to reattach the severed organ, the official added.

Hm. So we've had two stories recently of women slicing off their husband's penis, now we have a story of a prospective husband doing it himself.

I guess he was just beating them to it?
