A two-year-old boy has been "married" to a dog in eastern India to "ward off evil spirits and bad luck". The "marriage" took place in a village in Jajpur district on Monday. The "groom", Sagula Munda, was taken to the house of the dog, called Jyoti, in a highly decorated rickshaw and priests solemnised the ceremony. The boy's father said such "marriages" were a tradition and would help ease the bad omen of the tooth rooted in Sagula's upper gum.
