Man in southern India married a female dog
A man in southern India married a female dog in a traditional Hindu ceremony as an attempt to atone for stoning two other dogs to death — an act he believes cursed him — a newspaper reported Tuesday.
P. Selvakumar married the sari-draped former stray named Selvi, chosen by family members and then bathed and clothed for the ceremony Sunday at a Hindu temple in the southern state of Tamil Nadu, the Hindustan Times newspaper said.
Selvakumar, 33, told the paper he had been suffering since he stoned two dogs to death and hung their bodies from a tree 15 years ago.
"After that my legs and hands got paralyzed and I lost hearing in one ear," he said in the report.
The paper said an astrologer had told Selvakumar the wedding was the only way he could cure the maladies. It did not say whether his situation had improved.
Deeply superstitious people in rural India sometimes organize weddings to dogs and other animals, believing it can ward off certain curses.
The paper showed a picture of Selvakumar sitting next to the dog, which was wearing an orange sari and a flower garland.
The paper said the groom and his family then had a feast, while the dog got a bun.

As long as there are diffrenet ways to get God forgivness for bad doing why not

these people think this is the way to do Repentance
other people put thier bad doing on the shoulder of prophets and believe that the other can kill themselves for the sins of others
in my case as a muslim if i do bad i have to face it not the others and i will ask God to forgive me all the life
and i want to tell something : only because these people from indea then they r funny what a bout if the same case happiened in north america not in south indea
note: iam arab not indean
gross
Yes this news was on TV. In the first place, he should never have tortured animals. But this should not be a reflection on any particular people; there are scoundrels mostly everywhere.
But the million dollar question is Did he consummate the marriage?? Any guesses?
Any way here is the link
