He sues lover after sex change hitch

NEW DELHI: An Indian who became a man to marry a female
relative was dumped after the surgery, a newspaper reported
Monday.

Twenty-nine-year-old rubber tapper Kuttiyamma, born with both
male and female genitals, had been in love with the relative,
Laura, 25, for 15 years before having surgery to become a man and
change her name to Binu, the Hindustan Times reported.

But Laura became engaged to another man and Binu is suing her
for breach of trust after spending 50,000 rupees ($1,150) on the
sex change in southern Kerala state.

"She had agreed to marry me after the surgery," the paper
quoted Binu saying in the petition. "I took loans to pay the
hospital bills."

Laura's fiance has since backed out of the wedding after
hearing of Binu. The paper did not say how Laura and
Kuttiyamma/Binu are related. -- Reuters
