PANCHPARA, India (Reuters) - A 25-year-old Indian man has married his 80-year-old grandmother because he wanted to take care of her.

"I felt she needed extra care as she is old. I can look after her better as a husband than as a grandson," Narayan Biswas told Reuters.

"As a husband, I am with her all the time, to care for her," said the high school graduate, who farms rice fields and also works as a tutor.

The grandmother, her back bent with age, says she is "happy" with her young husband whom she married in a traditional Hindu ceremony near Panchpara, a village 100 miles west of Calcutta. Her first husband died more than 30 years ago.

2. Did you see this one at the end of the article?

"Last June, a nine-year-old Indian girl was married to a dog near Calcutta after a priest told her parents the wedding would ward off evil."

5. Platypa perhaps? (nt)

7. No..

platypapaya are very reclusive little fellas. Marrying a cattle dog or favorite cow, on the other hand, would be considered socially acceptable.

6. Guess this marriage would be sanctioned under proposed amendment

to ban gay marriage. And no incest problems to boot as childbearing is not an issue.
