OrangeSoul Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 I know other cultures have to be respected but this is repugnant NEW DELHI, India - A 9-year-old girl was married to a stray dog in a ceremony attended by more than 100 guests in a village in India's eastern state of Bengal as part of a ritual intended to ward off a bad omen, newspapers reported Thursday. The girl, Karnamoni Handsa, had to be married quickly to break an evil spell, according to the beliefs of her Santhal tribe in the remote village of Khanyan, the Hindustan Times said. Karnamoni's tooth had grown on her upper gum, which Santhals consider a bad omen. The girl's father, Baburam Handsa, a poor sharecropper, could not afford the expenses of marrying his daughter to a boy, so he saved money by making a street dog the groom on June 11, the paper reported. Other news media also reported on the ritual, which does not interfere with the girl's life. She suffers no stigma and is free to marry later. She doesn't even need to divorce the dog. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=stor...rl_dog_marriage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.... Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 And someone in "Next Superpower" thread said, it will be India. Its no where near in future after seeing this kinda news. What's more frightening, is that they have nuclear weapons, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deckhand Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 What's more frightening, is that they have nuclear weapons, too. yea, but im sure we have defense technologies to bring down any nukes during mid flight (hopefully they work).. plus the US has like 40098689 nukes which most likey keeps them from doing any dumb moves. and if they did nail the US, it would suck.. but their country wouldnt be so pretty either.
