[Actually, it’s this guy’s goat that was gotten.](http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/05/03/caprine_wife_dead/) > [@](#): > > The caprine wife of a Sudanese goat molester has died suddenly after more than a year of marriage, the BBC reports. > > Mrs Tombe, née Rose, got hitched in a shotgun wedding ceremony after her future husband was caught indulging in pre-marital sexual relations with the animal. Her owner, Mr Alifi, “described how he heard a noise outside his house and rushed out to find one Mr Tombe going at his hammer-and-tongs with the unfortunate beast”, as we reported at the time. He recounted: “When I asked him: ‘What are you doing there?’ he fell off the back of the goat, so I captured and tied him up.” ---
