Slimdust

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.

...

Deeply superstitious people in rural India sometimes organize weddings to dogs and other animals, believing it can ward off certain curses.

...

The paper said the groom and his family then had a feast, while the dog got a bun.

According to Kumar, when he was 18-years-old, he had clubbed to death a dog-couple when they were mating and hung them on a tree.

(He did this 15 years ago)

After the incident, he suffered a stroke and could not move his left arm and legs and also turned deaf. He now walks with the help of a stick.

Kumar claimed that an astrologer had suggested him that he had the "curse of dogs".
