In 2006 a man was forced to "marry" a goat with which he was caught having sex in the Hai Malakal suburb of Juba, Sudan.
The owner of the goat subdued the perpetrator and asked village elders to consider the matter.
One elder noted that he and the other elders found the perpetrator, tied up by the owner, at the door of the goat shed.
The goat's owner reported that, "They said I should not take him to the police, but rather let him pay a dowry for my goat because he used it as his wife."
The perpetrator was thus ordered to "marry" the goat, pay the cost of the goat and pay a dowry of 15,000 dinar with half of the dowry up front.
The goat apparently acquired the name "Rose" during the elders' deliberations as part of a joke.
