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(jù)外媒9月4日?qǐng)?bào)道，印度一個(gè)偏遠(yuǎn)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(yuǎn)離厄運(yùn)的糾纏，實(shí)在是令人匪夷所思。 這名生活在印度某偏遠(yuǎn)山村里的年輕女孩曼葛利·蒙達(dá)（Mangli Munda）一直被家人認(rèn)為是不祥之人。因此，她不得不被迫與一只流浪狗成親，以驅(qū)逐自己身上的厄運(yùn)。據(jù)悉，這只被選作新郎的流浪狗是蒙達(dá)的父親在街上找到的。然而，雖然這場(chǎng)盛大的婚禮都是由蒙達(dá)的父母一手操辦的，但是這位年輕的新娘子卻一點(diǎn)也高興不起來(lái)。顯然，她對(duì)自己的“新郎”很不滿意?！拔乙稽c(diǎn)也不喜歡這段婚姻。”蒙達(dá)說(shuō)。 事實(shí)上，這場(chǎng)令人瞠目結(jié)舌的特殊婚禮并不是蒙達(dá)的父親一人包辦的。就連蒙達(dá)的母親也堅(jiān)信自己女兒的身上帶有惡靈，必須要通過(guò)和流浪狗“聯(lián)姻”的方式才能夠擺脫惡靈的糾纏?；槎Y當(dāng)天，這只名為舍魯?shù)男」废衿胀ǖ男吕梢粯颖蝗司拇虬缫环笥闷?chē)送到了婚禮的現(xiàn)場(chǎng)。蒙達(dá)的母親還表示：“我們不得不出錢(qián)舉辦這樣的一場(chǎng)婚禮。因?yàn)檫@是唯一可以使她擺脫厄運(yùn)并保證整個(gè)村子平安度日的方法。” 不過(guò)，雖然蒙達(dá)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?yàn)檫@段婚姻并不受法律約束。 其實(shí)，在印度賈坎德邦東部的這座偏遠(yuǎn)小山村里，類(lèi)似的荒謬婚禮在從前也并非是聞所未聞的。當(dāng)?shù)厝讼嘈?，這樣的一段婚姻能夠在蒙達(dá)嫁給一個(gè)真正的男子之后保佑兩人幸福長(zhǎng)壽。 （譯者 yhuang 編輯 丹妮） 掃一掃，關(guān)注微博微信
