18 Year Old Woman, Forced to Marry a Dog to Break Curse! When the wedding starts, find out how the dog reacted!

Marriage is one of the most precious and unforgettable moments of one's life - especially for a woman. It is the sanctity of marriage that is bound through a wedding, accepting their partners for all they are. But this marriage ceremony in India will definitely blow your mind.




Meet this 18-year-old woman who was ordered to get married with a stray dog so she could revert the curse cast upon her. The tribal ritual was utilized to fend off evil spell reigning over Mangli Munda in Jharkhand, India. The lavish wedding was organized by the elders of the village who influenced Munda's parents to think that she's ill-lucked and that the community and her family would suffer if she ever marries a man.

That is the reason why, the girl's father looked for a stray dog and he found Sheru, which was brought to the marriage ceremony through a chauffeur car. Uneducated Mangli told she doesn't want to get married with the dog but if it would take her out of the misfortune for her family and village, she'll oblige. Hesitant, she said:  ‘I am marrying a dog because the village elders believe that my evil spell will be passed on to the dog. ‘After that is done, the man I will marry will have a long life.’

Part of the ritual of the wedding between Mangli and the stray dog, Sheru. Around 70 of their relatives attended the wedding where people danced through traditional drumming.




According to Mangli, the said ritual have become a tradition for their village. In fact, this is not the first time a local girl has to endure wedding ceremony with a dog. An elder said: added: ‘Many weddings like this have taken place in our village and also the other neighbouring villages. This is a custom that we thoroughly believe in.’

Mangli's mother, Devi, also said: ‘Apart from the fact that the groom is a dog, we followed all customs. We respect the dog as much as we would respect a normal groom. We had to spend money on this wedding in the same way as we would in a normal wedding. But that is the only way we can get rid of her bad luck and ensure the benevolence of the village.’
