Indian man marries dog

[Kailee]

As an 18-year-old he had stoned and clubbed to death two dogs he found engaged in mating. He then hung their carcasses from a tree.

That's when his personal suffering began.

"After that my legs and hands got paralyzed and I lost hearing in one ear," Kumar told the Hindustan Times newspaper.

Kumar, now 33 and living in the southern Indian district of Sivaganga, could no longer take the physical pain of the "dog curse," so he sought the advice of an astrologer.

Her cure for his maladies?

"Marry a dog."

Which is just what Kumar did on Sunday.

In a ceremony befitting a beautiful Indian bride, the bitch, a former 10-year-old stray named "Selvi," was bathed and dressed in a ceremonial orange sari with a garland of flowers adorning her neck. She was then brought to the temple in Tamil Nadu to be presented to Kumar by members of his family.

Kumar, sitting beside his bride, recited his marriage vows, declaring, "I will take care of it until its death." Then, the "couple" was declared married.

Deeply superstitious people in rural India sometimes organize weddings to dogs and other animals, believing it can ward off certain curses.

The Hindustan Times reported Kumar's family hosted a feast — while Selvi dined on a bun.

No word on where the couple would honeymoon or reside, or whether they had registered for gifts.

The Hindustan Times, Associated Press and Time of India contributed to this report.

I guess that slippery slope argument some republicans like to use has been invalid for quite sometime.

[Tajin]

He clubs two dogs and hangs them and none in the area finds him crazy?.

No comment on the rest, AFK switching my DNA.

[Akiyama]

Wow... I find this highly disturbing and incredibly amusing at the same time. Am I bad?

[Charla]

Well at least the dog isn't ugly.

Taijin, which DNA were you planning on swapping in? I'd suggest something along the lines of

or

if we're sticking with the whole dog hybrid motif. Or maybe

if you'd rather just be flashy about it. Using those wings to actually fly might present some other difficulties, but there are ways around that too. As for getting the DNA into you in the first place, try what they do here.

semi-ontopic:

In a ceremony befitting a beautiful Indian bride, the bitch...

is both lol and /facepalm.

Interspecies marriage.....and people wonder why so many children are born with deformities in India (cue the girl with like 4 arms and legs that's been in the news recently).

Think her dad was an octopus or somethin.

@Charla: I was thinking of something less humanoid <.<. Nice pictures *'.')b, which anime is the 3rd one from?

[Mizango]

This is arguably the only man on the planet that can call his wife a "bitch" with absolutely no repercussions.


Again, wtf is with India?

All 3 are from Utawarerumono (extreme spoiler in the plot summary there btw). Almost everyone except the main character is either a dog, cat or bird-person of some sort. I was going to stick in Nina from one of the Breath of Fires, but was too lazy to look for pictures outside wikipedia.

Also, I'd never want to be permanantly non-humanoid, although a shapeshifter of some sort might be nice.
