    Celebratory gunfire: Egyptian bridegroom shot in genitals night before wedding
  • 28-year-old Egyptian man Osman al-Alsaied was seriously injured after he was shot on his genitals with shotgun pellets by a guest at his wedding.

    Alsaied was enjoying his last night as a single man when the gun was accidentally discharged towards him rather than the direction of the sky.

    The "celebratory gunfire" has left him with serious injuries to his testicles, thigh, and hand.

  • Celebratory gunfire is a tradition at weddings in Arab countries despite many countries banning the practice.

    The gunfire has led to accidental deaths, prompting several countries to crack down on the practice in recent times.

    Last month, a 14-year-old boy was accidentally shot dead at a wedding in Egypt.

    Celebratory gunfire is prevalent at weddings in certain parts of India despite being illegal.
