Girl weds dog to ward off 'evil eye'
Full story here:
Maybe this practice is common all over, not just India. Could this be why Britney Spears went to Las Vegas? Would this explain Julia Roberts and Lyle Lovett? And Rush Limbaugh has been married a few times, hasn't he? Um...
NEW DELHI - A 7-year-old girl wed a stray dog as part of a ritual to ward off the "evil eye" on her and her family in eastern India... Shivam Munda's upper teeth appeared before her lower teeth - considered a bad omen by members of the Santhal ethnic group to which she belongs... Kundan Munda, a coal mine worker, said his daughter married the dog only to "remove the evil eye," a superstitious belief that some misfortune could befall her and the family, and that she would be free to marry a man later.Well, that last sentence is a relief. Who wouldn't want to have those in-laws?
