Marriage to Animals and Trees
If you’re not from India and aren’t familiar with its customs, the idea of animal marriage or tree marriage might leave your jaw wide open. Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, people ask why anyone would marry a cow or dog. Indians are firm believers in horoscopes and use them to help make important life choices.
If the character has terrible luck, it’s advised that they marry an animal or tree. These unusual marriages are seen as the person’s first marriage and absorb the “curse’s” blows. The second wedding with a human is said to go without incident.
