They say love is blind........
ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast (Reuters) -- Two prisoners in an Ivory Coast jail who courted and fell in love through a peephole in an iron door have been released for a few hours to get married, one of their jailers said Friday.
Roland Guy Bouabre, serving a 3-year sentence for stealing a bicycle, courted Emilie Yobouet, who was given a one-year sentence for kidnapping a child, while he was delivering groceries for her to cook.
He would take the groceries to the iron door and then a guard would deliver them.
"You can find love in all kinds of places -- even prison," Daloa prison guard Norbert Bah told Reuters by telephone.
Yobouet completed her sentence two days after the wedding but brings food to the jail each day to supplement her husband's meager prison diet.

Hope they raise good kids...
LOL this is really funny. i think they are delusional. Such people wouldnt last two minutes together in the outside world. People somehow tend to bond and stick together when confined together in restricted space like in BB house. (smile) Once they are unleashed to the outside world, their novelty over each other will certainly wear thin.
Only in Africa - arent male prisoners supposed to be seperated and segregated from the female prisoners?
How could the prison guards have allowed this romance to even start, flourish and blossom?
