Man marries Dog on the advice of astrologer

A man from Avilakulam, Tamil Nadu, India has married a dog on the advice of an astrologer. Selva Kumar, 33, tied the knot with a three-year-old bitch called 'Selvi' to get rid of a curse for killing two dogs 15 years ago.

Within four days of killing the animals, Kumar started suffering from paralysis, reports the Mumbai Mirror. Medical treatment led to no improvement so he saw a local astrologer who told him the curse would be lifted if he married a bitch.

The groom wore a white dhoti and shirt while the bride was dressed in a pink silk saree for the wedding ceremony. The ceremony ended with Kumar tying the Hindu 'sacred thread' around the dog's neck and vowing to take care of his wife forever.
