For the country that came up with tantric sex and the kama sutra, India is amazingly puritanical about sex and PDAs. Witness all the trouble Richard Gere got into when he mock-kissed that bollywood actress on stage.

Neither the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, which regulates marriages between Hindus, nor the Special Marriage Act, 1954, which regulates interfaith marriages, provides for marriages between people and animals.

Just so, you know, you wouldn't think he was a fag or something.

More seriously, there have been lesbian marriages in India performed by Hindu priests (there is no formal religious prohibition within Hinduism for same-sex relations (and was widely acknowledged and practiced into the 19th c.)) and current prejudices are courtesy of those meddling Brits). Lesbians do not fall within the purview of Art. 377 of the Indian Penal Code (enacted by the Victorian British in the 1890s), which prohibits acts against "the order of nature." Caselaw has stated that such acts require "penetration." And, lesbians technically cannot penetrate anything naturally (tools and aids didn't figure into the legal picture). Men (more specifically the active partner) do come within Art. 377. By the way, this law has been challenged under the Indian Consitution by gay rights and AIDS awareness groups. The Indian Supreme Court is reviewing the law. There is a feeling the Court will "read down" the law to exempt consensual adult sex (and limit its application to prevent pedophelia, etc.). This was the recommendation of the Indian Law Reform Commission.

Dolphins. Oh, wait. Some bitch already did that in California.
