9-Year-Old Girl Marries Dog in India
Thu Jun 19, 7:50 AM



NEW DELHI, India - A 9-year-old girl was married to a stray dog in a ceremony attended by more than 100 guests in a village in India's eastern state of Bengal as part of a ritual intended to ward off a bad omen, newspapers reported Thursday.

The girl, Karnamoni Handsa, had to be married quickly to break an evil spell, according to the beliefs of her Santhal tribe in the remote village of Khanyan, the Hindustan Times said.


Karnamoni's tooth had grown on her upper gum, which Santhals consider a bad omen.


The girl's father, Baburam Handsa, a poor sharecropper, could not afford the expenses of marrying his daughter to a boy, so he saved money by making a street dog the groom on June 11, the paper reported.


Other news media also reported on the ritual, which does not interfere with the girl's life. She suffers no stigma and is free to marry later. She doesn't even need to divorce the dog.

wow. some cultures are REALLY different, eh?

sheesh.

if that happened here, the girl would be all traumatized and might have to be in therapy for a loooong time..

thats cool though, she doesnt have to divorce the dog...i wonder if she'll keep it as a pet.."honey, id like you to meet my first husband.. Abdul Rachman, meet Spot!"

Let's just hope that having children with the first spouse you have is mandatory in that culture...

Don't all people have teeth on their upper gum? Doesn't everyone have a bad spell on them, then, and everyone must get married? AHHHHH!
