First gay Muslim wedding, happens in UK

​
Jahed Choudhury and Sean Rogan married in Walsall, in what could be the UK’s first homosexual marriage involving Muslims partner.

Footage showed the couple dressed in traditional Bangladeshi attire, said their vows while surrounded by loved ones at the town’s registry office.

Mr Choudhury, 24, told the Express and Star, that he felt like the “black sheep” of his Bangladeshi Muslim family, being bullied at school, attacked by other Muslims and banned from his local mosque.

He said, he attempted to change his sexual orientation and went on religious pilgrimages to Saudi Arabia and Bangladesh but became suicidal and attempted to kill himself before meeting Mr Rogan.

They started living together in 2015 and Mr Choudhury proposed on his husband’s birthday last year.
