Naturally, it has its name – zoophilia. Men and women had sex with animals throughout the whole history of mankind. There are writings that evidence sex of people with goats, sheep, dogs, horses and other mammals. But the stories of their weddings are few. Such a story happened in a Sudanese city Hai Malakal in February of 2006. Mr. Tombe was caught by Mr. Alifi having sex with his goat Rose. The perpetrator was thus ordered to pay a $50 ransom and marry the goat. Mr. Tombe did not bring himself to contradict his future relatives and married the goat.

Another story of marriage between a man and an artiodactyl occurred in the USA. Jerry Spinger tried to unravel the mystery of these relations in his talk-show in 1988. But he failed, for the legal zoophilia seemed too outstanding for directors of some TV channels. So the show was not broadcast. That’s why millions of Americans were not aware of a five-year marriage between their compatriot and horse Pixel.
Of course, it is very audacious to declare your alliance with an animal. But to marry a corpse and to take a vow of chastity is not the most cowardly deed. Such marriages are wide-spread in Taiwan and China. There are several reasons for that.
A live girl may marry a corpse if it was her fiancé or she remained on the shelf and became a burden to her parents. A man usually marries a bodiless girl due to the custom of the right for the first marriage. In these countries a younger brother may not marry earlier than the elder one. That is why if an elder brother has not found a bride and a younger brother is eager to marry, a ghostly sister-in-law appears in that family.
Such weddings are held according to all rules of an ordinary wedding; a live husband is obliged to be faithful to his dead wife. During the wedding a ghost secures a body of wood, paper or bamboo. But this puppet is dressed in accordance with the ceremony.
It is also known that some families do not want a bamboo puppet of their sons-in-law or daughters-in-law, but prefer a real corpse. According to the Chinese Hua Sheng Bao, recently buried people are much more expensive than “old” ones and cost four-five thousand dollars. This trade is illegal, of course, but we know, demand breeds supply. In 1989 the Time correspondent Michael Kramer managed to attend at such a wedding in China, where the fiancé’s relatives bought for three dollars a body of the bride who dies five months ago.
It is clear that for such weddings people do not go to the registry office and do not sign in a marriage certificate. Moreover, such a marriage is not officially authorized in any country of the world. But historically, marriage is an alliance, about which the newly-married couple informs the public at large. So taking into account the large number of guests at these ceremonies this is the real marriage.
