Absent husband returns home ... as a eunuch Thu May 5, 8:53 AM ET
An Indian man who left his wife and two young children two years ago shocked his family when he returned home as an eunuch, wearing garish red lipstick, the Asian Age newspaper said Thursday.
After a fight with his wife, the jobless Nabiullah left his family in Hathipur town in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh in the summer of 2003 to look for work, the paper reported.
During his absence, he got himself castrated and became a eunuch, earning money by singing and dancing, a common form of employment among India's ostracized community of eunuchs.
"I was always fond of singing and dancing, but felt suffocated in my body as a man," Nabiullah was quoted as saying.
His wife, Shama Parveen, fainted when he returned home late last month and now wants a divorce.
"I cannot live with this eunuch and subject myself and my children to social ridicule," she was quoted as saying.

OK. This isn't weird.
Oh, thought this was another Michael Jackson story.
Mrs. Frist, keep an eye on your husband.....
The family was even more shocked when s/he ran and became the Junior Senator of New York State.
He must REALLY like to dance.
Took a walk on the wild side.
I've said it before, I'll say it again . . . India is just freakin' weird!
I always kinda felt like a eunuch in my home.
Then I left after the wife decided she didn't want me around
I got my manhood back
I figure this guy was just taking care of in one whack what his wife was trying to do over the years
Wouldn't you. Can you imagine having to share your clothes and makeup with your husband.
Plucked his eyebrows on the way, shaved his legs and then he was a she.
Boy, what I wouldn't give to be a singer/dancer among India's ostracized community of eunuchs. No, really. What I wouldn't give!
I am a red state-er, trapped in the body of a Blue state
Why didn't he just join the "Village People"? He could sing and dance and he would still have his equipment.
I think it got in the way of his dance moves.
I hear his super splits are awesome now...
I saw the headline and knew it would be out of India. For some reason they seem to have cornered the worldwide "weird" news stories market.
I hope this doesn't happen to you.
I don't blame her one bit for being mad.
