The irate family of a Lebanese Druze woman who married a Sunni man attacked her new husband, cutting off his penis and pulling out his teeth, local media reported Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Mass circulation An Nahar said Rabih, 39, and Roudaina, 20, met on Facebook and were married by a sheikh in July, over the wishes of the bride’s family.<\/p>\n

Marriage between members of the Druze community and non-Druze are extremely rare and officially banned by the religious group, which is present in Lebanon, Syria, Israel and the West Bank.<\/p>\n

Roudaina’s family, Druze from the Bayssour area of the Aley region, were apoplectic over her marriage, media reports said.<\/p>\n

Her brothers, one of them a soldier, managed to lure Roudaina’s new husband to Bayssour under the pretext of a reconciliation meeting.<\/p>\n

But when the unfortunate groom arrived, they beat him up, pulled out several teeth and cut off his penis.<\/p>\n

“He would have been killed if residents of the area hadn’t intervened,” An Nahar said, citing security sources.<\/p>\n

Rabih was taken to hospital, but his attackers remain at large. His family has condemned the attack as “an unpardonable and hideous crime.”<\/p>\n

Even beyond the Druze community, intermarriage between Lebanon’s 18 religious communities remain uncommon.<\/p>\n

The country was ravaged by a civil war that pitted many of its religious communities against each other between 1975 and 1990.<\/p>\n
