> 
> CAIRO—A 25-year-old Egyptian man cut off his own penis to spite his family after he was refused permission to marry a girl from a lower class family, police reported Sunday.
> 
> After unsuccessfully petitioning his father for two years to marry the girl, the man heated up a knife and sliced off his reproductive organ, said a police official.
> 
> The young man came from a prominent family in the southern Egyptian province of Qena, one of Egypt’s poorest and most conservative areas that is also home to the famed ancient Egyptian ruins of Luxor.
> 
> The man was rushed to the hospital but doctors were unable to reattach the severed member, the official added citing the police report filed after the incident.
> 
> The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak with the press, added that the man was still recovering in the hospital.
> 
> Traditionally, marriages in these conservative part of southern Egypt are between similar social classes and often within the same extended families – and are rarely for love.
