An Indian farmer has married his dog in a bid to overcome what he believes is a curse caused by him having stoned to death two mating dogs in his rice field. The 34-year-old farmer, identified as Selvakumar from Sivaganga district in the southern state of Tamil Nadu, fell on bad fortune 15 years ago after killing the dogs & hanging their carcasses from a tree. A few days later, his hearing and speech were impaired & he was unable to walk. Doctors were clueless, but an astrologer finally told him he was cursed by the spirits of the dogs he had killed. He could undo the curse only if he married a dog & live with it, the soothsayer said. After a long search for a 'suitable bride', Selvakumar managed to get a four-year-old mongrel ***** from a friend & had a fully-fledged Hindu wedding in front of villagers & elders on Sunday. The canine bride, named Selvi, was adorned in a sari and flowers & brought to the temple by village women. A Hindu priest conducted the ceremony. Selvi attempted to make a run for it but was eventually tracked down and returned to her new 'husband'.
