Bride discovers husband is a woman… six months into marriage

Minati Khatua, from Orissa, allegedly found out the hidden truth after walking in on her spouse taking a bath.Her husband, known as Sitakant Routray, had originally said that he was not willing to consummate the pair's marriage as 'he' was observing a religious ritual.

Police have now launched an investigation into the marriage, with investigators believing that the groom could have gone through with the ceremony in order to receive the dowry which is presented on these occasions, with a car, gold ornaments and £350 in cash part among the gifts.'I thought he was devout and respectful of me. But when I walked into the bathroom there was no mistaking that my husband was 100 per cent a woman.

It is also being reported that Routray has now vanished with a car and a jeep, which were bought with loans taken from a bank account in Ms Khatua's name.

'I always try and unpack that he was a man, but failed many times. What was feared has been proved; she is a woman,' Ms Khatua added.

Nice Party policy-Brazilian Congress paid for party in sex hotel

SAO PAULO - The nominee to be Brazil’s next tourism minister used more than $1,000 in state funds to pay for a party at a hotel commonly used for sexual encounters, a newspaper reported Wednesday.Although the allegations involve a secondary figure in President-elect Dilma Rousseff’s incoming government, Brazilians have been sensitive to even the smallest charges of corruption since a pay-for-votes scandal in 2005 nearly brought down President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.The tourism ministry will also play an increased role in Rousseff’s government, which takes office on Jan. 1, due to the 2014 World Cup and 2016 Olympics to be held in Brazil.In a front-page story, Estado de S.Paulo newspaper said that incoming minister Pedro Novais, 80, held the party at the Hotel Pousada Caribe in June while he was still a lower-house deputy in the national Congress.Novais then billed Congress for the 2,156 reais ($1,268) charge, Estado reported.Hotels that charge per couple, by the hour — known simply as “motels” — are common in Brazil and used by people for sex. Estado published a picture of the pink-walled room that Novais rented, which included a circular bed, pool and sauna.

Estado quoted Novais saying that he used the money to house advisers and political allies in the hotel. However, he admitted that charging Congress was “improper” and described his actions as “an error that will be corrected.”
