Man in India Marries Dog to Atone for Stoning to Death Mating Canines
Tuesday , November 13, 2007
NEW DELHI — Selva Kumar had been hounded for 15 years by the memory of a horrible act he'd committed as a teenager.
As an 18-year-old he had stoned and clubbed to death two dogs he found engaged in mating. He then hung their carcasses from a tree.
That's when his personal suffering began.
"After that my legs and hands got paralyzed and I lost hearing in one ear," Kumar told the Hindustan Times newspaper.
Kumar, now 33 and living in the southern Indian district of Sivaganga, could no longer take the physical pain of the "dog curse," so he sought the advice of an astrologer.
Her cure for his maladies?
"Marry a dog."
Which is just what Kumar did on Sunday.
In a ceremony befitting a beautiful Indian bride, the bitch, a former 10-year-old stray named "Selvi," was bathed and dressed in a ceremonial orange sari with a garland of flowers adorning her neck. She was then brought to the temple in Tamil Nadu to be presented to Kumar by members of his family.
Kumar, sitting beside his bride, recited his marriage vows, declaring, "I will take care of it until its death." Then, the "couple" was declared married.
Deeply superstitious people in rural India sometimes organize weddings to dogs and other animals, believing it can ward off certain curses.
The Hindustan Times reported Kumar's family hosted a feast — while Selvi dined on a bun.
No word on where the couple would honeymoon or reside, or whether they had registered for gifts.

Principal Attacked for Not Letting Students Cheat
PATNA, India (Reuters) - A veterinary college principal in India's crime-plagued Bihar suffered major burns when students hurled gasoline bombs at his car after the school refused to let them cheat on an exam, police said.
Professor Mani Mohan Prasad suffered burns to about 30 percent of his body in the attack late on Tuesday by students armed with hockey sticks, knives, revolvers and petrol bombs who were driving motorcycles, police said.
``The students rained (blows with) hockey sticks on me,'' he told Reuters on Wednesday. ``I then managed to extricate myself and got in the car but the car was also attacked by the marauders with petrol bombs.''
The trouble began on Tuesday morning when school authorities confiscated books and notes from 18 students going to write an exam at the sprawling college campus on the outskirts of Patna, the capital of the eastern Indian state.
All the students then boycotted the exam and some hours later, a mob of angry students attacked the professor.
``Students who were not allowed to use unfair means in the exam were instrumental in trying to burn the principal,'' Patna city superintendent of police O.P. Bhaskar told Reuters.
Patna district magistrate Deepak Prasad said two students had been arrested and the college closed for an indefinite period
