Boy marries hill to break curse

A teenage boy in a tribal village in eastern India married a hill to appease its goddess and remove a curse placed on his mother.

The boy, Robin, married a hill named Lakshmi, after the goddess of prosperity, in the presence of a large number of witnesses in Jharkand state.

The boy's mother, who had fallen and hurt herself while trying to climb the hill, believed the goddess was unhappy with her.

She started to pray to Lakshmi and after three months the deity apparently visited her in a dream.
