Let this be a lesson.
Guys, if you think that paying attention to the details doesn't matter, think again.
These are very serious people, apparently.
I wonder if the 'example' will be kept in a jar as a reminder to the other fellas in the village.
Hey, it's just dinner with the new in-laws. What could possibly go wrong?
No Shiite!
Now, we all know why.
You Druze, you lose

The family of a Druze woman who secretly married a Sunni Muslim man outside her faith dragged the new groom into the square of their Lebanese village then brutally beat him and severed his penis, according to Lebanese media reports. This because the bride's family was so angry she had married outside the Druze religion.
The victim, 39-year-old Rabih Ahmad told Al-Jadeed TV that the attackers were his wife's father and brother, adding 'they cut it off to set an example.'

After expressing their outrage, Melaab's family then called and invited the newlyweds to dinner in Baysour under the pretense of reconciling and honoring the marriage.
Instead, the woman's relatives, led by her brother, who is reportedly a soldier in the Lebanese Army, kidnapped Melaab and dragged Ahmad to the main square of Baysour where they beat him and cut off his penis. According to local news reports, Ahmad arrived at the hospital in critical condition, his penis missing and his testicles ruptured.
An Nahar reports that the relatives also pulled out several of the groom's teeth in the attack which took place last Monday.

According to a translation provided by the Australian news agency AAP, a security source told An Nahar, 'He would have been killed if residents of the area hadn't intervened.'
A resident of the village of Baysour told the Daily Star that the newlywed bride and her male relatives haven't been seen since the attack.
The Druze community is a religious minority in Lebanon as well as in Syria and Israel in which interfaith marriage is considered to be rare.
