Gay marriage and its Indian generalizations
Politics in the western hemisphere is in ferment over gay marriage. It is then natural to ask the question — what novel twist will India, the bleeding edge of democracy come up with?
India rarely disappoints. The recent case of two young ladies who married in a temple comes to mind, along with the futile attempts of their parents to annul the marriage. Incidentally, while this is perfectly acceptable in Punjab, Sikh clergy has been thrown into turmoil by the impending legalization of gay marriage in Canada — regarded by the Golden Temple as the Primised Land of Sikhism (I wonder if the Canadians know).
Those excellent URLs elude me for the moment, so I offer you a peek at Hypermarriage, a Malayali genralization of binary (and bipartite) marriage.
Hypermarriage was invented by this clever gentleman who found his wife engaging in lesbian adultery. He discovered that once the sacred vows bind more than two people, marriage can be homosexual and heterosexual at the same time.
Notice also the endearingly quaint usage of the Indian Express. While you or I might imagine that Venu was saving his marriage, according to IE “he was “saving” himself a wife.
