Mangli Munda, an 18-year-old Indian woman, married a stray dog as a tribal ritual designed to resist bad luck.
As Mangli was believed to have brought bad luck to the tribes, the village elders immediately held the wedding, and Mangli ' s father agreed and found a stray dog to match his daughter.
She had no choice but to say that she was very upset, but the village elders felt that it would transfer her bad luck to the “husband”.
This “dog union marriage” took place on 30 August, when the village elders indicated that Mangli Munda had been entangled by bad luck and that it would have brought misfortune to the community and to the man, so that an urgent wedding would be held to force her to marry Sheru, the dog's groom, who would later be married and the husband would live a long life.
The village was not the first time that a man or a dog had been married, and many had succeeded in breaking bad luck.
According to Mondé, the elders told her that many women now live happily after the ceremony, “I wish one day to marry Prince Charming, who is the dream of all girls”.
It is understood that her marriage will only last a few months before she can remarry.
