For six months, Minati Khatua, 27, from Rourkela, Orissa, India, was told by her husband, who gave the name Sitakant Routray, that they could not consumate their marriage because "he" was observing a religious ritual. She allegedly discovered her husband's secret when walking in on her spouse in the bath. "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," she told police, who have launched a fraud investigation. The husband has since disappeared. Police believe the groom may have posed as a man to take advantage of the dowry that is traditionally presented upon marriage. The dowry reportedly included a car, gold ornaments and some £350 in cash.
