RU Sunni or Shia'? When Love and Marriage Get You Killed...

Meet Qais Jassin. He's all of 26 years old. But after a series of one-on-one meetings with the father of his beloved, he got the required approval to marry his wife. That event in itself should be momentous with celebration, right? There should be dancing. There should be smiles. There should be feasting. And probably all of those celebratory activities happened.
But guess how he spent his wedding night.
Yup, you guessed it...not with his wife. Indeed, this young man quite literally:

I know. I'm sure you're shaking your head and saying, "Huh? Why would he do that?"
Glad you asked.
