Weird India


There is no doubt it, there is plenty of weird stuff going down in India. Indeed there are plenty of websites and blogs that celebrate it´s surreal nature. One of my favourites is Weird India. For example, last week it reported a special story.

Villagers in India "married" off a young girl to a stray dog to ward off an evil spirit which they believed was threatening the family.

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

Interestingly, the girl is free to get married later in life to a man without even seeking a divorce.

Strange? Not in India!
