An Egyptian court on Saturday slapped eight men who appeared in a "gay marriage" vide with three-year jail terms each, a judicial source has said.
The court found the eight men guilty of "inciting debauchery and offending public morality", the source said.
The men were also ordered to remain under watch for three years.
The defendants had been arrested in September after a video that prosecutors say is a "gay wedding" ceremony aboard a Nile riverboat went viral on the Internet.
