Girl weds dog over evil teeth:
"A young girl wed a stray dog as part of a ritual to ward off the 'evil eye' on her and her family in eastern India.

The wedding was decided after Shivam Munda, who lives in Dhanbad, a coal mining town in the state of Bihar, got her upper adult teeth before her lower teeth.

Such a thing is considered a bad omen by members of the Santhal ethnic group to which she belongs."
