Shocking! 7-year-old Boy Forced to Marry Female Dog in Bizarre Religious Ceremony

A seven-year-old boy has been forced to marry a female dog in one of the most ridiculous and bizarre religious ceremonies ever.

 

According to reports, the boy was forced into the act because his family believe it will ward off evil spirits.

 

Mukesh Kerayi lives in the deeply superstitious rural village of Manik Bazar, in eastern India where the incident happened. According to his parents and grandparents, his horoscope predicts his first wife will die young.

 

So in an effort to avoid such a tragedy, they put a bitch in a wedding dress and made it Mukesh's first wife.

 

 

The event was conducted like a real wedding and villagers danced and cheered in celebration of the youngster and his new 'bride'. The dog was reportedly kicked back onto the streets after the service.

 

Mukesh’s grandfather, Ashok Kumar Leyangi, 43, said: "We believe the marriage will ward off any bad omen attached to the boy.

 

"This is traditional practice in our tribal community and we still believe in these old customs. We feel that it is our adult responsibility to keep our children safe and happy this way."

 

The Indian Government is still trying to educate rural and tribal communities that these acts of superstition is wrong.
