No wedding: the man was refused permission to marry a lower class girl
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.
The young man came from a prominent family in the southern Egyptian province of Qena, one of Egypt's poorest and most conservative areas.
The man was rushed to hospital, but doctors were unable to reattach the severed organ, the official added.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak with the press, added that the man was still recovering in the hospital.

As Lou Reed said: "cut-off his penis and HE became a SHE"!!
Okay so it was "plucked his eyebrows"...but Egyptians don't have eyebrows do they??
Like a hot knife would really ease the pain.
not "eyebrows", eyebrow, or uni-brow in Arabic
I think the hot was to disinfect
