Publisher's Synopsis

Who and what are marriage and sex for? Whose practices and which ways of talking to god can count as religion? Here, Lucinda Ramberg considers these questions based on two years of ethnographic research on an ongoing South Indian practice of dedication in which girls, and sometimes boys, are married to a goddess.
