A man about to get married to the love of his life suddenly found out that his fiancee fed on his mother's breasts and did something drastic in disgust.
The man from Saudi Arabia, who learned that his soon-to-be wife could be considered his sister because she was breast-fed by his mother, committed suicide upon hearing the news, Emirates 24/7 reports.
“Policemen were told that he committed a suicide after learning that the girl he was engaged to was like his sister as she was fed by his mother when she was a baby,” Emirates 24/7's Arabic language daily source said.
In the Middle East, sharing the same mama or her milk, makes two individuals' relationship a brother-sister one. Marriage in this case is then forbidden.
The man reportedly covered himself in petrol and lit himself on fire, dying hours later despite efforts to rescue him at a nearby hospital.
