Man marries a female dog in traditional Hindu ceremony


India - A 33-year-old man in Sivaganga district of Tamil Nadu has married a dog in a bid to ward off the "curse" of a canine couple he had killed 15 years ago.
Selva Kumar tied a 'mangal sutra' on the animal, petnamed Selvi, at a Ganesh temple in Manamadurai, about 50 km from here, yesterday.
The 10-year-old saree-clad "bride" was brought to the temple in a grand bridal procession. After the function, the bride was feasted with bread.
Kumar, who vowed to protect Selvi all through its life, said he married the animal as per the advice of an astrologer. "I will take care of it till its death." Full Story - Discount Magazine Subscriptions - Discount Cigarettes & Tobacco - Buckle
