AfroP Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 http://news.uk.msn.com/odd-news/Article.aspx?cp-documentID=14321257 Members of an eastern Indian tribe have married off a toddler to a female dog in a bid to prevent his predicted death in a tiger attack. Parents of the groom, 18-month-old Sangula Munda, were advised to arrange the marriage when they noticed a tooth growing from their infant son's upper gum. Community elders in Orissa state’s Jaipur district believed the tooth was a bad omen suggesting that the toddler was destined to be killed in a tiger attack. According to tribal tradition, his grisly fate could be prevented by marrying a dog. Life’s a bitch, then you marry one The weird wedding was conducted at a Hindu temple with all the rituals associated with a traditional marriage ceremony. The canine bride, who sported two silver rings and a silver chain, was even given a dowry. According to the boy's father Sanrumula Munda, Sangula will still be able to marry properly when older. Superstition is still a potent force in tribal and remote communities of India. wtf!?!?!?!?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ_NUFC Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 That's why Hinduism is the funniest religion of them all. This is to do with education and not religion, freetard. This 'tribe' is not even bloody educated enough to consult a dentist, they do as their 'elders' say. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haz Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 "This 'tribe' is not even bloody educated enough to consult a dentist, they do as their 'elders' say. " This is as good as a definition of superstition as you will get; true religion. Its not the first example of rampant Hinduism either. Where there is no education you will find religion.

What's a freetard? You'd probably find that it's a cultural superstition as opposed to one subscribed to by Hinduism. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some who coincidentally follow Hinduism may say you should marry a dog if you've got a fucked tooth. If they're Hindu and it is such that they generally marry in temples, then they would marry the boy and dog there. What makes it a Hindu thing though?

"You'd probably find that it's a cultural superstition as opposed to one subscribed to by Hinduism." What's the difference? It's comments like this that provide religious people with false justification for claiming that people like Hitler acted in the name of atheism, an argument you've rightly rubbished many times in the past. Like I've said before, hypocrisy such as this from people with extremist viewpoints like yourself does the cause more harm than good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haz Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 That doesnt answer my question. Do only Hindus marry in Hindu temples? If I am wrong Im prepared to say so. Hitler wasnt an atheist. This would only happen in India. As far as I am aware, Muslims wont marry dogs, neither would Brahmins or sikhs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But does the Hindu-ness have anything to do with the fact he's been forced to marry a dog? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
