And the picture above is the evidence! P. Selvakumar (left) places a garland on a sari-draped former stray female dog named Selvi during a marriage ceremony in Manamadurai, south of Chennai in India last November 2007. Selvakumar 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. Apparently. after he stoned the dogs, his legs and hands got paralysed, he lost hearing in one ear, and his speech was impaired. With doctors unable to help him, Selvakumar turned to an astrologer who told him he was cursed by the spirits of the dogs he had killed. He could undo the curse only if he married a dog and live with it!!! And since we’re in rural India, all things are possible — and so man marries a dog!
