Gay man pretended to be a woman on his wedding day so that husband's parents could hide their son's sexuality
A gay man says he was forced to dress as a woman on his wedding day to not embarrass his husband’s family.
Roy Singh, 29, married his husband dressed as a woman. If that wasn't ban enough, he was asked by his in-laws to keep the pretense going even after the ceremony because they were struggling to accept the fact that their son was gay.
Roy, who hails from Manchester, recently spoke to Mirror and said that he met his future husband when he was 18 at a family wedding. "He started singing love songs to me and told me I had a beautiful smile. Later, he made a move and we kissed.”
They started dating in secret as Roy was afraid his Sikh family would disown him if they found out. Two years later, Roy's partner asked him to marry him and he thought that he is going to get his very own "fairytale love story.”
However, days later, Roy met his mother-in-law who said he was very "good-looking and her son had chosen well". She then told him that she comes from a big Indian family and that "there’s a lot of honor involved." She asked him to marry her son dressed as a woman and pretend to be a woman for a while to convince the community that her son isn’t gay.
