We Now Pronounce You Husband and Animal/Tree
What would you think if we said you could legally marry a tree or an animal? Most of your jaws would drop to the floor, but in India, it’s actually quite common. Well, it used to be common, but the younger generation has pretty much steered clear from tying the knot with inanimate objects and insentient beasts.
So, where did this practice originate? According to Anna, she said that people would marry animals and trees when to break a chain of bad luck or bring them fortune in the future. People would marry cows, which would absorb a “curse,” and their second marriage (with a human this time) would go swimmingly.
