So, you watched the Oscars last night and were blown away by Slumdog Millionaire.  You’re thinking, “I want to go to India. I want to see this amazing country for myself. I want to experience the sights, the sounds, and the smells.”

No, you don’t.  Babies are forced to marry dogs in India. I’m NOT KIDDING!

You see, when a baby in the Munda tribe develops a tooth before turning two, they kind of freak out.  They see it as an omen that the baby is in danger of Tiger attacks.  So, his parents did the only thing a truly loving mom or dad could do when their child is in mortal danger: they married the kid off to their neighbor’s dog.

According to the AP, “The dog belongs to the groom’s neighbors and was set free to roam around the area after the ceremony. No dowry was exchanged, the witness said, and the boy will still be able to marry a human bride in the future without filing for divorce.”

Wow, I guess they have sort of an “open marriage,” with all the roaming around. I wonder if he would have to file for a divorce if he wanted to marry another dog. Or a cat. Or whatever species Joan Rivers became after the 15th surgery.

Carry on, Citizens!
