Would you go to a wedding in a country that criminalises homosexuality?

DW and I have a really lovely friend who will hopefully be getting married in the not-too-distant future.

We were chatting about this the other day and she said that, as weddings in the UK are so expensive now, she and her partner might decide to have the wedding in the country that their parents are from (as it would be much cheaper there).

I've since googled the laws in that country, and same-sex sexual activity is illegal and carries a penalty of up to 10 years in prison.

People online are saying that the law is rarely enforced and is unlikely to be used against Western tourists. And that two women sharing a room will be assumed to just be friends.

Which is all well and good, but DW and I have the same surname and our DD can talk now and calls us Mummy and Mami... so I think the 'pretending to be friends' boat may have sailed.

Am I being disproportionately risk-averse to worry about this, or would you be the same in my position?

DW & I had this discussion recently - we absolutely would not and we'd expect good friends of ours to know and respect this.
