A man in India has married a dog in order to appease the spirits of two other dogs he killed some 15years ago. The man, whose name is Selvakumar got paralysed in his legs and hands, lost his speech and hearing in one ear after stoning the dogs to death. Doctors couldn't help him but an astrologer he turned to told him he was cursed by the spirits of the dogs he killed. The astrologer further told Selvakumar he could avert the curse only if he married and live with a dog. Selvakumar then married the dog in a traditional hindu ceremony which was well attended by family members who also chose the stray dog for the 33years old groom.
According to the friend of the groom, "the dog is only for lifting the curse, after that he plans to get a real bride".
Hmmm...what superstition in this day and age...wonders shall never end.
