Girl marries dog in bizarre ritual
(00:42) Rough Cut

Jan 26 - In India’s eastern Jharkhand, villagers ‘married’ off a young girl to a stray dog to ward off an evil spirit.

The locals at Munda Dhanda village performed the ceremony as they believe it will overcome any curse that might fall on the family

Interestingly, the girl is free to get married later in life to a man without even seeking a divorce.

Superstitions are widespread in India, especially in rural areas where literacy is scarce.

Re: What on earth is happening to this world?

yeah its really weird, what also surprises me is ppl marrying of girls to the quran in rural areas in order to prevent family wealth and land from going somewhere. It seems like rural areas all over the world have some ignorance issues

IF animal sex can be legal in Scandinavian countries .. then what’s the problem with marrying animals.. i don’t know what this world is up too..well actually humans .. :chai:

Re: What on earth is happening to this world?

well animals do have to have sex.

the stork thing isnt really true..

you got wrong.. Humans doing sex with animals.. its totally different or its not ?

Yeah ignorance or lack of education.

na,.. its religious stuff !

Re: What on earth is happening to this world?

^ religion don't teach that, it's the ignorance and lack of education which leads to religious distortion or cultural acceptance

Their (hindu) religion stuff.... and believe me in Hinduism.. .their are alot shocking stuff going on...

i think it's more to do with the culture rather then the hindu religion itself. maybe your right hinduism like any other is corrupted.

Re: What on earth is happening to this world?

so when jihadis explode in crowded places, is it because of culture or religion or because islam is corrupted?

it's not because of religion period. it's their dirty mentality.

Re: What on earth is happening to this world?

well thats interesting. when it comes to muslims, its not because of religion, but when its about hindus, its religion. surprise surprise.

Re: What on earth is happening to this world?

okay queer why dont you educate the people about why this type of stuff happens in India.
wouldnt that be better than the typical pissing contests?

if you read my post, i never said it was hinduism at fault. i said religion is not at fault. it's CORRUPTED no doubt.

Re: What on earth is happening to this world?

soA

Its how you phrased it i think.

1) religion being corrupted versus 2) certain people twisting, adding , corrupting to suit their purposes... are 2 different things.

Re: What on earth is happening to this world?

I heard about a lady being married to the Quraan and thought it was a joke... so I guess it wasn't. :(

So basically what does that even mean, being married to the Quran - do you live like the nuns? and cannot marry ever? I'd appreciate it if someone could clear that up, thanks.

Re: What on earth is happening to this world?

well X2, its pretty much the same deal as the things people do to ward off evil eye/remove bad influences etc. from the sounds of it, it is a ceremony to fool the offending spirit into leaving the girl alone. i personally think it is ridiculous and is probably some witch doctor milking ignorant villagers.

my problem though is that some people think it is okay to attribute ignorance and backwardness as characteristic of other peoples faiths, while get all defensive when the same is done to theirs.

that is what you believe. and it is offensive to say so to hindus.

just as it is offensive to muslims for me to say the person you consider a prophet wasnt really a prophet, no doubt.

if you wish to talk about what you think of other peoples beliefs even if it is offensive to them, it is only fair you be okay when others tell you similar things about your faith as well.
