Man in India marries dog as atonement








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.





"After that my legs and hands got paralyzed and I lost hearing in one ear," he said in the report.





The paper said an astrologer had told Selvakumar the wedding was the only way he could cure the maladies. It did not say whether his situation had improved.





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





The paper showed a picture of Selvakumar sitting next to the dog, which was wearing an orange sari and a flower garland.





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