I was reading the yahoo news and saw a story about a baby boy in India was married to his neighbor’s dog , Jyoti, recently in an attempt to ward off evil spirits and to protect the baby boy from being eaten by wild animals. According to the article, the baby, who is under the age of two had sprouted a tooth. Supposedly this is a bad omen for his tribe, and so his tribe married him to the dog to protect the village and the boy from the bad luck that this new tooth is feared to bring. Well, this was really odd in so many ways! If I recall correctly, all of the babies in our families have at least one tooth by the time they are eighteen months old. So this is just weird beyond weird. Fortunately for the groom, he will be allowed to marry a human bride when he is older without having to divorce Jyoti. How bizarre, how bizarre!
