Shock As Beautiful Indian Girl Is Forced To Marry A Stray Dog To Ward Off An Evil Spell

A teenager married a dog during a lavish Indian wedding in front of at least 70 guests. Mangli Munda, 18, from a remote part of eastern India, was told by village elders that marrying the confused canine would ward off an evil spell. A local guru told her parents the teenager possessed ill-luck and that marrying a man would bring destruction to the family and her community.

The baffled dog, Sheru, was brought to the wedding in a chauffeur driven car and welcomed by revellers. Mangli, who has not been to school, said she was not happy to wed a dog, but insisted that she it will help change her fortunes.

The hesitant bride said: "I am marrying a dog because the village elders believe that my evil spell will be passed on to the dog. "After that is done, the man I will marry will have a long life." Mangli's father Sri Amnmunda agreed and even found a stray dog named Sheru as a match for his daughter. 

We had to make sure that the evil spell is destroyed. "And marrying a dog is the only way to get rid of the bad luck." And amazingly, this not the first time that a local girl has wed a dog in the village. 

Sri added: "Many weddings like this have taken place in our village and also the other neighbouring villages. This is a custom that we thoroughly believe in."
