Yes, India is indeed backward. So very backward that didn't Amnesty International just condemn India for killing 1,400 mostly civilians in its wholesale bombing of residential areas? Is it safe now to weep for the children maimed and killed in that holocaust? Or will such careless empathy continue to earn one the sobriquet of "anti-Indian bigot?" It seems mainstream media demands that we cherrypick which human innocents are worthy of our tears. Oh, sorry, it wasn't India. Quick, change the subject!
And yes, this just goes to show that marriage to dogs starts the slippery slope leading to legal relationships between non-gender-discordant human couples.

Clearly India is still a backward nation.

Call me a traditionalist, but I can only condone opposite dog marriage. Plus, I get to call my wife a bitch with no repercussions.

I was gonna add that it's arguably pedophilia since the dog is only four, but I guess in dog years she's legal.

It's more of a slippery inclined plane but try telling that to the poets on the right.
