Man In India Marries Dog As Atonement

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071113/ap_on_fe_st/india_man_weds_dog;_ylt=ArAc2g6p1jc1.mqAdrtdIJ6s0NUE

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.

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.

Please tell me he didn't consummate the marriage!

2. Sorry, I'm still stuck on the "stoned 2 dogs to deah & hung their

bodies from a tree 15 years ago." To this, I'd say, he earned his bad karma... Uggh.
