An Indonesian teenager splashed out on a lavish wedding only to find when he got home that his bride was a he, not a she.

A Muslim cleric formalised the wedding at Samarinda in East Kalimantan province. But the bride of the 18-year-old groom, the Jakarta Post said, was in fact a 38-year-old transvestite drag queen who ran a local beauty parlour. Reuters - Jakarta
