Indian Girl Forced To Marry A Dog In A Bizarre Ritual

India still has a land of enduring superstition, especially in rural areas where literacy is practically non-existent. Recently a most weird news occured in Jharkhand. A young girl was forced to marry a dog in order to ward off “evil spirits.” 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 drumsin the belief that it would help to overcome any curse that might fall upon the unfortunate family. Interestingly, the girl will be free to marry a man later in life without even seeking a divorce from her four-legged husband!
