New Delhi, Nov 14 (mb): A man in Tamil Nadu married a female dog in a traditional ceremony as an attempt to atone for stoning two dogs to death fifteen years ago - an act he believes cursed him.
P Selvakumar married the sari-draped former stray named Selvi, chosen by family members, and then bathed and clothed for the ceremony on Sunday at a temple in the state.
Selvakumar, 33, said 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 paralysed and I lost hearing in one ear," he said.
An astrologer had told Selvakumar the wedding was the only way he could cure the maladies.
