This news may sound weird or even wicked to some, but let me tell you first why a man married a dog. This kind of ceremony among other ceremonies is normal in the country of India, being a country of many superstitious beliefs. You may be wondering why a man would even think of marrying a dog but let me tell you how this all started.
The Indian guy who married a dog is Selvakumar, a very superstitious farmer. This thirty-three year old man had apparently done some kind of animal cruelty about fifteen years ago. According to him, he abused two dogs that has put a curse on him ever since. Selvakumar had strung the two dogs years back and stoned them to death. This cruelty had lead him to many unfortunate events making him believe that the two dogs have placed a curse on him. After the death of the dogs he abused, he has faced several health problems. He experienced paralysis in his legs and hands. His speech and hearing were impaired as well. He has visited several doctors who weren’t able to help him until he found an astrologer who explained everything to him. According to the astrologer, the two dogs he abused had put a curse of ill health on him. For that, he could put the curse to an end by marrying a dog.
Selvakumar’s family found a stray dog and named her Selvi. The once stray dog was bathed and dressed in traditional Indian wedding clothing. Selvi wore a sari and a flower garland. The dog and Selvakumar were taken to the temple complete with a Hindu priest to perform the wedding ceremony. According to the Hindustan Times, after the wedding, the newly-weds and the groom’s family had a feast. Selvi, to dog bride even tried escaping but they caught her and brought her back to the feast. As the day ended, the spirits of the two dogs that Selvakumar had abused were said to have left and the curse was lifted. Selvakumar now has plans of marrying a human bride in the future.
