Pinoys in Bali, Indonesia, beware! Think twice if you're thinking of doing something strange -- like having sex with a cow. Or you could be forced to marry it!

According to a report of the news site Emirates 24/7 on Sunday, an 18-year-old boy in Bali was forced to marry a cow he had sex with. Citing a video from Buzz, the report said the teenage boy claimed he thought the cow was a beautiful woman, who wooed him with compliments.

However, Bali officials didn't accept his explanation and decided that marriage was the punishment the boy deserved.

The report said the teenage boy passed out during the ceremony attended by hundreds of people. The town just decided to drown the cow. According to the Stock Estimate of the Commission on Filipinos Overseas, there were 11,914 Filipinos in Indonesia as of 2010. - VVP, GMA News
