Man marries bitch to beat curse

The "bride" wore a sari and a garland. Enlarge Image An Indian man has married a female dog, believing the union will help him atone for stoning two other dogs to death. P Selvakumar, 33, said he had been cursed since the killings, suffering paralysis and a loss of hearing. The wedding took place at a Hindu temple in Tamil Nadu state. The "bride" wore an orange sari with a flower garland and was fed a bun to celebrate. Superstitious people in rural India sometimes organise weddings to animals in the hope of warding off curses. 'Tried every cure' Crowds cheered the newly-weds at the end of the ceremony in Sivaganga district, about 50km (30 miles) east of the city of Madurai. The "bride", who is called Selvi, was led to the temple in Manamudurai wearing a sari before vows were exchanged in a traditional Hindu ceremony. A relative of the groom who attended the wedding said he hoped Mr Selvakumar would now be cured. "Fifteen years back Selvakumar was physically fit. But, once he attacked a pair of dogs and thereafter Kumar could not move his limbs freely," the relative, Ramu, told the BBC. "He tried every cure for his ailment but could not be rid of his disability. "On the advice of an astrologer and others, he decided to marry a bitch to get cured. Then we arranged Selvakumar's marriage with a bitch."

OMFG, TELL ME THIS ISNT TRUE, LMFAO, WTF. LOL

this is the weirdest thing ever, now is he gonna hump this poor dog? gosh  animal rights group should do something aha

aznshawty - if you think about it for a second it's not as funny as you find it.....just like the title says "man marries a bitch to beat a curse" which obviously states the purpose of him marrying a dog and understanding that the society needs to respect and understand the guilt within him in a situation such as this is more important than laughing at him...

If him marrying the dog helps him psychologically and emotionally to deal with fact that he killed two other dogs...then why not?? You can even think of it as being alternative form of medicine for him….

And it's our beliefs and values which shape all of our lives and give each culture and group of individuals their own uniqueness, and if he believes in the astrologer's advice then it's not something that should be laughed about and ridiculed...even though this might be an extremely unusual situation.

A situation like that could be compared to your and my own values and what we believe and i am sure that we are all different with very different and maybe even absurd beliefs....

Not just in this situation but in other situations that you might find something that’s not consistent with your norms and values should not be made fun of!

Have a good day!! :)

well i'm not making fun or laughing at any other type of beliefs or traditions but this one is totally weirdly disgusting which can be funny sometimes but in a bad way, this is brutal, it's so impossible, thats like almost as turning the nature upside down and ofcourse going against the hindu religion or god.

Things like this happen in every religion .....Don't get me started..may be not exactly this sort of things, but things that can be compared to .....Go and see what sorts of rituals happen in the Vatican...or in Saudia Arabia during Ramadan.....Great job Nails, for enlightening Azn....

but i woudnt care less, just putting up 2 cents, my concern wouldnt make a change or undo these things but omg this is disgusting.

i was tlaking about hindu religion?

well i dont know much about any religion but this is totally absurd please and i dont need to be "enlightened" on such things.

yeah people dont call hinduism the stupidest religion in the world for no reason

hey guys think about SUHAG RAAT what will happen to these couple ????

You do not have to go far, right in kathmandu and other parts of nepal, young girls are married to a tree, 'bel bibaha'.
As Azsawty asks, how would they ' hump' ?????????????????????????????/
