This week we’re going to be talking about a woman who married her cat. Obviously, the Bible’s teaching on marriage pertains to this. As our society continues to move further away from Biblical principles on marriage, we should not be surprised by stories like this. However, there is more to this story than just marriage. We’ll discuss that in the episode.
STORY – Woman Marries Her Five-Year-Old Cat
“A 49-year-old woman in London has tied the knot with … her cat.
“Deborah Hodge has been forced to give up three pets — two Huskies and one cat — and she is refusing to do it again, according to the New York Post. To circumvent her landlord’s no-pet policy, the British woman has elevated her cat India from pet to spouse.
“She apparently has no religious qualms about the unorthodox union.
“‘I do not want to lose another beloved pet,’ Hodge told the South West News Service. ‘I vowed in sickness and in health, in death do us part, and I meant it. I don’t believe in organized religion; however, I do have faith. India always came back, even after losing a leg. I am her universe and that is why I married her.’
“Hodge explained that, next to her children, her 5-year-old tuxedo cat is ‘fundamentally the most important thing’ in her life, adding, ‘By marrying India, I need any future landlords to know that we come as a package and we cannot be separated under any circumstances, as she is as important to me as the children.’” (Faithwire)
