New Delhi- An 18-month-old boy in India's eastern state of
Orissa was married to a female dog in the belief that that this would
save him from an attack by a tiger, a newspaper reported Friday.
The wedding took place in the tribal-dominated eastern district of
Jajpur on Wednesday, after the toddler's parents found a suitable
match in a pet bitch called Samina, the Asian Age daily reported.
"We believe that if the canine teeth in the child's upper jaw
develop first, then he will be attacked by a tiger. That's what
happened with my son," Sunaram Gagari, the boy's father, told the
paper.
Gagari said the tribal community believed that a marriage ceremony
was necessary to ward off the "bad omen."
Gagari had earlier thought of getting his son married to a goat.
"But its owner may be tempted to sell the goat to a butcher later,
and that would have left my son a widower," said the villager, adding
"So I settled for a dog as the bride."
Marriages between humans and other living beings are not uncommon
in India and are mainly arranged by tribals to ward off "evil spells"
and "bad omens."
Local news outlets reported separate marriages of two girls with a
dog and a snake in tribal districts of Orissa last year.
Tribal elders say such marriages do not affect the children's
lives and they would be free to marry again later and did not need to
divorce the animals.
