Girl marries dog to drive away evil spirit

Saturday, January 31, 2009


Only in India.
In India’s eastern Jharkhand, locals in the Munda Dhanda village have ‘married off’ one of its children to a stray dog because they believed her family was endangered by a malevolent spirit that could be assuaged in no other way.

The ceremony was performed to the beating of many drums in the belief that it would help to overcome any curse that might fall upon the unfortunate family.

In an odd twist of fate, the girl will be free to marry a man later in life without even seeking a divorce from her four-legged husband!
