Indian girl marries dog

In India's eastern Jharkhand, villagers 'married' off a young girl to a stray dog to ward off an evil spirit.

The locals at Munda Dhanda village performed the ceremony as they believe it will overcome any curse that might fall on the family



The girl is free to get married later in life to a man without seeking a divorce.

Superstitions are widespread in India, especially in rural areas where literacy is scarce.
