Strange marriage This tradition actually has nothing to do with preparing a bride for her wedding day. In India, any girl who is born ugly, with a baby tooth that is already growing, or with a facial disfigurement is said to be possessed by ghosts. The belief here is that if the girl marries an animal (typically a dog or goat), she will rid her body of the demons and ward off any future ghosts or bad luck. There’s even an extravagant wedding ceremony held, though fortunately the girls aren’t expected to—er, ‘lie with the animal’ later on.
