Many people have asked for a hand in marriage, but what about a paw? This sounds like a whole new spin on the tradition of prearranged marriages in some countries.

In a remote part of India, young Mangli Munda is marrying a stray dog to fight off evil spirits that her family believes she has. The dog was found by the woman's father. The big wedding was taken care of by the 18-year-old's parents, to the dismay of the wife-to-be. Munda wasn't pleased with her parents' selection of a groom, saying, "I am not happy with this marriage."

If you think Munda's father was solely to blame for this unusual arrangement, he wasn't. Munda’s mother was adamant about the need for her daughter to get hitched to the hound named Sheru. The pooch even arrived stylin' and profilin' as most grooms often do — chauffeured in a car. Munda's mother mentioned, "We have to spend money on this wedding. That is the only way we can get rid of her bad luck and ensure the benevolence of the village."

But Munda won't have to love and honor her husband all the days of her life. The relationship isn’t legally binding, which will probably keep this bride from going barking mad.

In this remote village in the eastern state of Jharkhand, the ceremony isn't unheard of. It’s just a tradition meant to ensure the longevity of a couple's marriage when Munda is eventually married to a human groom. And, hopefully, her next husband won't turn out to be a dog.

據外媒9月4日報道，印度一個偏遠山村的18歲女孩近日在父母的安排下與一只流浪狗舉辦了隆重的婚禮。而她父母這樣做的原因竟是為了讓她遠離厄運的糾纏，實在是令人匪夷所思。

這名生活在印度某偏遠山村里的年輕女孩曼葛利·蒙達（Mangli Munda）一直被家人認為是不祥之人。因此，她不得不被迫與一只流浪狗成親，以驅逐自己身上的厄運。據悉，這只被選作新郎的流浪狗是蒙達的父親在街上找到的。然而，雖然這場盛大的婚禮都是由蒙達的父母一手操辦的，但是這位年輕的新娘子卻一點也高興不起來。顯然，她對自己的“新郎”很不滿意。“我一點也不喜歡這段婚姻。”蒙達說。

事實上，這場令人瞠目結舌的特殊婚禮并不是蒙達的父親一人包辦的。就連蒙達的母親也堅信自己女兒的身上帶有惡靈，必須要通過和流浪狗“聯姻”的方式才能夠擺脫惡靈的糾纏。婚禮當天，這只名為舍魯的小狗像普通的新郎一樣被人精心打扮一番后用汽車送到了婚禮的現場。蒙達的母親還表示：“我們不得不出錢舉辦這樣的一場婚禮。因為這是唯一可以使她擺脫厄運并保證整個村子平安度日的方法。”

不過，雖然蒙達和這只流浪狗舉辦了婚禮，但是她并不需要和自己的“丈夫”真的廝守一生，因為這段婚姻并不受法律約束。

其實，在印度賈坎德邦東部的這座偏遠小山村里，類似的荒謬婚禮在從前也并非是聞所未聞的。當地人相信，這樣的一段婚姻能夠在蒙達嫁給一個真正的男子之后保佑兩人幸福長壽。
