Now this is weird: an Indian man, who suffered from sickness after stoning stray dogs to death 20 years ago, is atoning for his sins by ... marrying a stray dog!
P. Selvakumar, a 33-year-old farm labourer from the southern state of Tamil Nadu, married the four-year-old stray bitch after it was bathed and processed to his village temple dressed in an orange sari and garlanded with flowers. [...]
He was reported to have suffered a series of physical ailments after stoning the dogs to death and hanging their bodies from a tree.
“After that my legs and hands got paralysed and I lost hearing in one ear,” said Mr Selvakumar after the ceremony with his new "bride", whose name is Selvi.
A reception attended by some 200 guests was held for the newlyweds in the groom's house during which Selvi grew restless and ran away.
However she was subsequently recaptured and returned to her husband who gave her milk and a bun to eat.
Just as I thought: a dog will do anything for milk and bun! Link
I heard about another indian man who married a barbie doll. It represented his dead wife, or something. I think I remember watching it on the National Geographic channel.
Marrying is supposed to be more symbolic in their culture. To put it more bluntly, he isn't going to do the unthinkable to this dog.
It is extremely weird, granted, but they're not doing the nasty. It's not at all comparable to two human beings who love each other getting married.
India's a big country - the folks who answer the help desk phones might be as humoured by this ritual as we are.
Homosexuals ARE weird.
Homosexuals ARE sick.
Homosexuals ARE dememted.
I think this is a trend: does anyone remember the British woman that married a dolphin?
