Cambodian woman marries calf

For one elderly woman in Cambodia, death is just a hurdle. Khim Hang believes she has been reunited with her deceased husband again, as she thinks he has been reincarnated as a calf.

She is so certain that she even married the bovine and now shares a bed with it. The 74-year-old lady was heartbroken after her husband Tol Khut’s sudden demise over a year ago in Cambodia’s northeastern Kratie Province.

“When I went to see a medium, his soul came in and said ‘I am your husband’. Then I noted that he (the calf) licked my hair, then my neck, then kissed me so that really made me believe that he is my husband,” she said.

“I believe that he (the calf) is my husband because whatever he does when he goes upstairs… it is in exactly the same way as he (my husband) did when he was alive,” she added.

But it’s not just her, her children too believe that the five-month-old calf is their deceased father. Tol Vandy, her son explained that the calf only licks the arms of his relatives. Even her Lim Rith highlights that the animal “loves his children” and its behaviour with them is enough to prove that he is none other than Tol Khut.

The calf has become a national sensation and every day scores of people visit their house to see experience how the animal enjoys living with the family.
