Amphibian Couple to the rescue

Bangladesh suffered its driest July 2010 in decades, prompting farmers to turn to the centuries-old ritual of frog marriages.

Ramchandrapur village in Bangladesh's Sadullahpur district enjoyed an usual wedding.The marriage ceremony was comprised of the same rituals that are performed to certify an alliance between two humans. It was a joyous occasion for the residents with an urgent underlying appeal to God for a sufficient and consistent rainfall in the coming months.

Scientists say Bangladesh is one of the countries worst hit by the effects of climate change with extreme weather conditions such as drought and flooding likely to increase in future.
