Israelis fined for wedding kiss

[emad]

An Israeli couple being married in India have found that you may not kiss the bride - the pair were fined $22 for indecency for their wedding embrace.

A court in Rajasthan imposed the fine after Alon Orpaz and Tehila Salev had decided to get married in a traditional Hindu ceremony in Pushkar.

Priests were offended when the couple kissed and hugged during the chanting of religious verses.

The apologetic couple said they were unaware public kissing was banned.

1. That'll teach them! PDA is strictly frowned upon.

However, should you want to club a baby seal on T.V... Go for it.

2. I can understand this

someone kissing during the chanting of religious verses? better check to see if this is ok before doing it. Think they're hindu? they'd know better.

on edit: to clarify, I don't think a fine is in order, but I can understand why sensibilities could be offended

3. Indecency in India???????????????

WTF?

I didn't provide a link since this would show some of the greatest "erections" that man has built for women since time immemorial.


«The temples of Khaujraho are India's unique gift to the world, representing as they do a paean to life, to love , to joy ; perfect in execution and sublime in expression. Life, in every form and mood, has been captured in stone, testifying to the craftsman's artistry and extraordinary vision of the Chandela Rajputs. The temples of Khaujraho are still constituting one of the world's greatest artistic wonders.»


But if you must Internet search prepare for the unexpurgated!
