A Ugandan imam is facing life in prison after he accidentally married a man. Sheikh
Mohammed Mutumba exchanged vows with his ‘bride’, Swabullah Nabukeera, in an Islamic
ceremony. He met Nabukeera at a mosque and only ever saw them wearing a hijab or a
gomesi, a traditional Ugandan floor-length dress. Nabukeera was actually a cis man named
Richard Tumushabe, who had duped Mutumba in a bid to get his money. Tumushabe was
charged with unnatural offence, impersonation, theft and obtaining goods by false pretence – the latter charge referring to the dowry of two goats, two bags of sugar, three dresses, a carton of salt and a Koran. Although Mutumba committed no crime himself, and had actually sought counsel over his wife’s refusal to consummate the marriage, he has been taken to court and charged with having “carnal knowledge with a person against the order of nature”. The charge carries a potential penalty of life imprisonment.
