Girl marries dog to ward off 'evil eye'

A seven-year-old girl married a stray dog as part of a ritual to ward off the “evil eye” on her and her family in eastern India.

Shivam Munda’s upper teeth appeared before her lower teeth – considered a bad omen by members of the Santhal ethnic group to which she belongs, the Press Trust of India said in a report from Dhanbad, a coal mining town in the eastern state of Bihar.
