Man marries bitch to beat curse

The "bride" wore a sari and a garland.

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.

3. If it will help him stop hurting animals....
... then I'm all for it. Frankly, some kind of ceremony of forgiveness would be a good idea for many of us, when it comes to animals.

4. Well, I'd insert a comment about prison vernacular, but maybe I won't...
Why couldn't they find some dogs with rocks to sling at him instead? Oops, sorry, we're not in Singapore... Wait, they cane people there, I mean Iran. Sorry. My boo-boo.
