Can you "marry" a goat?

:eek: Ya know, I'd accuse you of making this stuff up if I wasn't already aware what a strange, strange world we live in:rolleyes: How's that old song go.."Love is strange!"
Actually, the man caught with the goat should be grateful to get off so lightly(no pun intended)..in earlier ages, he probably could expect to be stoned.
 
They ordered the man, Mr Tombe, to pay a dowry of 15,000 Sudanese dinars ($50) to Mr Alifi.

Do you suppose that's the going price for any bride regardless of what kind of mammel she is?

Or is that a discount?

What can I say, the whole story invites bad jokes..
In a country where a man of the right religious persuasion can kidnap and rape with impunity, any woman of the wrong religious persuasion, why would this so-called man need to boink a goat? I hope they make him take the goat along everytime he has to leave the house..serves him right.
 
Actually, in a herding society, this kind of thing makes perfect sense. A dowry is paid for marriage and obviously the owner of the goat has been wronged as his property was abused(all snickering aside) By requiring the marriage, restitution is given to the owner of the goat. Yes, it makes a cute "odd" news article here in the U.S., but in Sudan, it makes perfect sense.

As abc has pointed out, perhaps this man deserves praise for only raping a goat: amnesty link

Violence against women [2005 Amnesty International Report]

Armed forces and militia members raped thousands of women and tens of thousands of women suffered other violence and forced displacement in the conflict in Darfur. Women were raped during attacks and frequently abducted into sexual slavery for days or months. Women continued to be raped outside IDP camps.

An 18-year-old woman described how after an attack on Mukjar in January about 45 women were taken from the village by soldiers and militiamen wearing military uniform and raped. She was raped by six men and given to a soldier who kept her in sexual slavery for one month in Nyala and then took her to Khartoum, where she remained for two months before escaping. The soldier was under investigation at the end of the year.

In August, armed men in uniform, apparently from militias, reportedly raped three teenage girls gathering wood outside Ardamata IDP camp. The women reported the rape to the police who sent them for a medical examination but subsequently dropped the case.

Uhhhhhhhhhh, no. We have judges in the U.S. who make robbers or kids who do bad things stand by highways with signs stating what they did so that people passing by can point and laugh, as well as confront. It was a very popular form of medieval punishment as well. Wouldn't this not be a good way to embarrass the man who violated the goat? You don't think everyone is laughing about him and asking him where his wife is? And as stated previously, the owner of the goat got some restitution money.
 
There was a programme on here about 2 yrs ago about people who married there animals :(
To me is totally bloody sick and these people are sick for wanting to firstly sleep with the animal in question and then marry them,oh the world is a strange place :(
 
ruby, do you remember the reasons these people gave for wanting to live in holy matrimony with their four-footed lovers? It couldn't have been for the medical benefits, or for the sakes of their families Were they religious reasons?

defenders, argue that a human/animal relationship can go far beyond sexuality, that research supports their perspective, and that animals are capable of forming what is claimed to be a genuine loving relationship that can last for years and is not considered functionally different from any other love/sex relationship.

[surveys suggest] more than 1-2% -- and perhaps as many as 8-10% -- of sexually active adults have had significant sexual experience with an animal at some point in their lives.

The TV programme in the UK was
Animal passions (part of the Hidden Love series) (1999, follow-up sequel 2004, Channel 4, UK)

Ofcom [the UK television regulator] reported that: "This was a serious documentary exploring a rare minority sexual orientation. Although the programme gave an opportunity for zoophiles to express their opinions, the effect was neither to sensationalise nor normalise their behaviour."
