Boy marries dog to stop wild tiger attacks



Published Date: 19 February 2009

An infant boy was married off to his neighbours' dog in eastern India by villagers, who said it will stop the groom from being killed by wild animals, officials and witnesses said on Wednesday.
Around 150 tribespeople performed the ritual recently in a hamlet in the state of Orissa's Jajpur district after the boy, who is under two years old, grew a tooth on his upper gum.

I think tradition dictates that the dogs family pay for the ceremony. That is one wedding that I would eat at Jack In The Box on the way to.

The stuff people post!!!My god thats some weird

I just checked. The lucky couple are registered at Pet Smart and Babies R' Us. I snagged a flea collar for the Bride, and a rectal thermometer for the Groom. I was bummed because someone beat me to the punch and had already bought them the Pampers.

All in all the groom is pretty lucky.
The dog will bathe more frequently than the groom.
they must beware of persons that would covet thy
neighbors goat as well.

Don't believe everything you read.

I guess you need to cut your first tooth before you can marry a dog in India!

This is a fascinating subject speaking from an anthropological perspective.

We must all try to suspend our ethnocentric judgement of this culture and look at what is really important,

the boy-groom has not been attacked by wild animals since the wedding.

he was just marrying the dog, not having sex with it,

shoot, if I KNEW it worked, and I wouldn't be attacked by wild animals, I would marry the damn dog.

The Munda tribe see such a growth in young children as a bad omen and believe it makes them prone to attacks by tigers and other animals. The tribal god will bless the child and ward off evil spirits after the marriage.

"We performed the marriage because it will overcome any curse that might fall on the child as well on us," the boy's father, Sanarumala Munda, was quoted as saying by a local newspaper.
The groom, Sagula, was carried by his family in a procession to the village temple, where a priest solemnized the marriage between Sagula and his bride, Jyoti, by chanting Sanskrit hymns, a witness said.

The dog belongs to the groom's neighbors and was set free to roam around the area after the ceremony. No dowry was exchanged, the witness said, and the boy will still be able to marry a human bride in the future without filing for divorce.

Indian law does not recognize weddings between people and animals, but the ritual survives in rural and tribal areas of the country.
