Man forced to marry cow faints at wedding

A teenager collapsed during his marriage to a cow he had earlier been caught having sex with after claiming it had flirted with him.

A cow: Ngurah Alit's 'bride' was drowned after the ceremony A cow: Ngurah Alit's 'bride' was drowned after the ceremony

Unemployed Ngurah Alit, 18, was seen in a Bali paddy field standing naked behind the animal.

He claimed he believed the cow was a young and beautiful woman, and it had seduced him with flattering compliments.

He was then forced to marry the cow to cleanse the coastal village of Yeh Embang of the bestiality.

But during the ritual Alit passed out as locals and police – drafted in to keep journalists at bay – looked on and his mother began screaming, according to Detik.com.

One villager said: ‘Poor kid. He’s actually a quiet kid.’

Alit quickly then became a widower when his new bride was drowned in the sea as part of the Pecaruan ritual. Alit was only symbolically drowned and bathed on the beach.

Chief Ida Bagus Legawa declared that the village had then been ‘cleansed’ from the ‘defilement from the incident.’

Go figure. Link is here.

Go figure what?

That there are numerous cultural practices on this planet?

there have been numerous cases like this, especialy in rural african villagers. ive heard of quite a few this past year.

bizarre to us, but hey, if thats what it takes to cleanse the place, then let them marry and be fruitful.

shame about the drowning though

I wish they could have drowned 'The Chicken Dance Polka,' instead.

My first thought was that this has happened enough to create a cultural practice to begin with.

Is it possible that the kid was hallucinating?

[dlish]

no, its real...

the last time some poor farmer married a cow, he took her to the privacy of his home, and when they undressed, she said to him 'eat me'....
