NEW DELHI - A man in southern India married a female dog in a traditional Hindu ceremony as an attempt to atone for stoning two other dogs to death — an act he believes cursed him — a newspaper reported Tuesday.
P. Selvakumar married the sari-draped former stray named Selvi, chosen by family members and then bathed and clothed for the ceremony Sunday at a Hindu temple in the southern state of Tamil Nadu, the Hindustan Times newspaper said.
Selvakumar, 33, told the paper he had been suffering since he stoned two dogs to death and hung their bodies from a tree 15 years ago.

At least they could have found something better for the dog to eat after the service.

I’ll keep an eye out for the tabloid headline “I MARRIED A REAL BITCH”.

So do you suppose they’ll consummate the marriage?

Is that the dog or the guy who says that?

Pretty good deal, in my opinion. Boundless loyalty, eats scraps . . . .

“is it legal to do so...”
Who are we to question Man/Dog love?
This sort of crap is the logical end of the “Gay Rights (to marriage)” movement, either a society has rules or we cannot have any rules at all.
Yes it’s in India, but in the ‘Net age, ideas have feet.

Does this mean that I can get a new tax deduction this year for MY dog?
What with following foreign laws and celebrating diversity and multiculturism and stuff, I think I'm entitled.

What’s the big deal, he married a bitch? Our 42nd President did the same thing.

an attempt to atone for stoning two other dogs to death I hear that the third time is the charm.

If he wasn’t interested in consummating it seems he could have just had himself neutered. “BAD boy! DOWN!”

I guess a male dog would be frowned upon.
