Indeed, in America all the smart people can sue MacDonalds because they were not warned their kids would get fat from eating there all the time.

For those of you are incapable of clicking a link, here is the article:

A nine-year-old tribal girl in eastern India has married a stray dog as part of a ritual to ward off an "evil spell" on her, Indian newspapers have reported.

The girl, Karnamoni Handsa, had to be married quickly because she had a tooth rooted to her upper gum, which is considered a bad omen by her Santhal tribe in the remote village of Khanyhan, about 60 kilometres (37 miles) from Calcutta.

"Members of the village jury asked us to get her married to a dog or to face the bad omen," the girl's father was quoted as saying by the AFP news agency.

The tribe elders said the marriage would not affect the girl's life, and that she would be free to marry again later and did not need to divorce the dog.

"It will not spoil her future. We will marry her off to eligible bachelor when she grows up," the girl's mother told AFP.

'No regret'

The wedding - which took place on 11 June - was attended by more than 100 guests, who danced to the beating of drums and drank home-made liquor.

"I have no regret in marrying the dog Bacchan. I am fond of the dog who moves around our locality," the girl told the AFP.

"Bacchan is a stray dog who survives on left-overs. I will take care of the dog," she added.

Indian newspapers reported that local police officials had ordered an inquiry into the incident.

The Santhals - most of whom are sharecroppers - are a large tribe living in the states of West Bengal and neighbouring Bihar and Jharkhand.

No kidding. Oh no, another culture!
 
Doesn't this seem perfectly logical to anyone here?

Problem: tooth rooted in gums
Solution: marry dog

Problem: deformed child
Solution: dig a hole

Problem: tribal unrest
Solution: put dirt in hair

Problem: early death
Solution: burn body, drink homemade liqour

Problem: famine
Solution: throw seed all over dirt

I've come up with some crazy excuses for a party on college, but damn, I never would have thought of this.

They fear the Tree God. The cower before the Great Babishnu of Bashikness. (whatever the hell that is)

They ....well, they pee on themselves in anticipation of the coming of WheatyTastyFlakenVishnu, the Godess of Fertility and Coupons.

Someday, when the tree they are worshipping crushes thier skullls, they will finally get a gift certificate to the clue store.

Until then, let them pray to rocks; it keeps them quiet and non-violent. One less insurrection my tax dollars don't have to pay to quell.

While these are primitive people, it is shameful to denegrate their religion.

It's a primitive culture, still firmly rooted in the year 0021. What is there to "not jump to conclusions?" They walk around half naked, worship trees, eat god-knows-what-insects-live, marry their female children to ANIMALS...I mean...am I reaching, here?

Half naked? Wtf do you expect to wear whens its freaking 40C outside?? Also wasn't there a thread yesterday about American teenagers going to nudist camps??

Worship trees? I am not aware of ANY culture worshipping trees. Worshipping nature in general? Sure, after all, nature is sustaining us.

eat-insects? Again, I'm not aware of any aspect of Indian cultures that eats insects. Watching to many Indaina Jones here??? And even if they did, how are eating insects different from eating cows and pigs?

marrying children to animal? Ok that is wierd. But they believed that it would rid the girl of her illness. The article doesn't also state how long they wil lbe married for. For all you know, it could be for that day.

Primitive culture eh? Wow..the ignorance is amazing. Maybe you should actually try to learn about something before you talk bad about it. Go read some of the Hindu texts, go read up on Vedic science and medecine. Primitive...my ass.
