Yes, that seems like a pretty cruel thing to do. Though if the egyptians really loved each other before their genders were revealed, I might question the cruelty of it. I can picture a man falling in love with another man and masquerade as a woman in an attempt to show the other that they could still love one another. Although... I'm not exactly sure about marriage practices in Egypt. Arrangements might put a few twists in there.
