ABIDJAN (Reuters) - Two prisoners in an Ivory Coast jail who courted and fell in love through a peep hole in an iron door have been released for a few hours to get married, one of their jailers said on 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 meagre prison diet.
"He eats much better now," said Bah.
