Girl marries dog to ward off evil
The locals at Munda Dhanda village performed the ceremony as they believe it will overcome any curse that might fall on the family.
Interestingly, the girl is free to get married later in life to a man without even seeking a divorce.
Superstitions are widespread in India, especially in rural areas where literacy is scarce.
