An 18-year-old Indian girl has married a stray dog
as a part of a tribal ritual designed to ward off an evil spell. Village elders
hastily organised the wedding between Mangli Munda and the canine as the
teenager is believed to be bringing bad luck to her community in a remote
village in Jharkhand state. Mangli's father Sri Amnmunda agreed and even found
a stray dog named Sheru as a match for his daughter. And while Mangli was a
hesitant bride, she believes that the ceremony will help ensure that her future
human husband will have a long life.
Superstition is a belief or practice resulting from ignorance, fear of the unknown, trust in magic or chance, or a false conception of causation.
