Indian Girl Marries a Stray Dog To Ward Off Evil Spirit - Photos

An 18-year-old Indian girl has married a stray dog as part of a tribal ritual designed to ward off an evil spell.

According to DailyMail, Mangli Munda, from a remote village in the eastern Indian state of Jharkhand, wed the canine in a lavish ceremony. The wedding was hastily organised by village elders after a local guru led Mangli's parents to believe that the teenager possessed ill-luck and that marrying a man would bring destruction to the family and her community.

The baffled dog, Sheru, a stray found by the girl's father, was brought to the wedding in a chauffeur
driven car and welcomed by revelers. 

 

Mangli, who has not been to school, said she was not happy to wed a dog, but insisted that it will help change her fortunes.

The hesitant bride said:

'I am marrying a dog because the village elders believe that my evil spell will be passed on to the dog. After that is done, the man I will marry will have a long life.'

Mangli's father Sri Amnmunda agreed.
He said:

'The village elders told us that we should organize the wedding as soon as we can. We had to make sure that the evil spell is destroyed. And marrying a dog is the only way to get rid of the bad luck. Many weddings like this have taken place in our village and also the other neighboring villages. This is a custom that we truly believe in.'

According to the village's customs, the marriage will not affect Mangli's life, and she will be free to marry again later without divorcing the dog. 

Mangli added:

'My villagers say that many girls like me have followed this ritual and they have gotten rid of their evil spells and are living happy lives now. I will also be free to marry a man of my dreams after the evil spell is over. I will marry a man one day. It is the dream of every girl to marry a prince charming. So I am also waiting for my prince.'

At the wedding ceremony, people danced to traditional drumming, while around 70 relatives and local villagers attended the wedding. 

Mangli's mother Seems Devi said:

'Apart from the fact that the groom is a dog, we followed all customs. We respect the dog as much as we would respect a normal groom. We had to spend money on this wedding in the same way as we would in a normal wedding. But that is the only way we can get rid of her bad luck and ensure the benevolence of the village.'

Now with the marriage ceremony over, Mangli has to take care of the dog and raise him as a pet for the next few months.

Victoria Justice Confirms Nude Photos Are Real, Vows Legal Action

Victoria Justice has joined the legal fight against the hacker who released naked pictures of numerous celebrities throughout Hollywood.

As was the case for stars such as Jennifer Lawrence and Kaley Cuoco, photos of Victoria Justice nude popped up over the weekend, with the actress initially claiming they were fake.

But with the FBI now pursuing the hacker case and many outraged over this offending incident, here's a look at what Justice said Tuesday night:

"Shortly after I tweeted about certain pics of me being fake, I was faced with a serious violation of privacy."

"There have always been fake photos of me on the internet, but I will not be put in the position to defend myself as to what is real or what is fake.

"I am angry at this massive invasion of privacy, and like the other women who are in this situation alongside of me, I am taking legal action to protect my rights."

Lawrence and Kate Upton have come out with similar statement, vowing to pursue all legal means against anyone who posts illegally-obtained photos of them naked or topless.

Last year, selfies of Victoria Justice in a revealing bathing suit leaked online, with the Nickeldeon star later claiming her phone was stolen and hacked.

Man born with his head upside-down defied all odds to become an inspirational public speaker - See Photos

A man born with physical disabilities so severe his head is UPSIDE-DOWN has defied the odds to become an inspirational public speaker. 

Claudio Vieira de Oliveira, 37, was born with his neck is folded back on itself, as well as badly deformed legs and almost no use of his arms and hands. Doctors told his mother to stop feeding him as a newborn as they believed he had no chance of survival. But Claudio from Monte Santo, Brazil, has overcome his extreme disadvantages to graduate as an accountant and become a public speaker. Claudio said: “Since I was a child I’ve always liked to keep myself busy and work – I don’t like to depend totally on other people. “I do a bit of accounting, research for clients and consulting. “I have learned to turn on the TV, pick up my cell phone, turn on the radio, use the internet, my computer – I do it all by myself.” Claudio types with a pen held in his mouth, operates phones and a computer mouse with his lips and has specially made shoes that allow him to move around town. His determined independence saw him succeeding at school and qualifying as an accountant from the State University of Feira de Santana. 

When Claudio was born, doctors told his mother Maria Jose he would not be able to survive. Maria Jose said: “People started saying ‘the baby is going to die’ because he could barely breathe when he was born. “Some people would say: ‘Don’t feed him, he is already dying’. “But there’s only happiness now. Claudio is just like any other person – that’s how he was raised in this house. “We never tried to fix him and always wanted him to do the normal things everyone else does. “That’s why he is so confident. He is not ashamed of walking around in the street – he sings and he dances.” At eight years old, Claudio, who had previously been carried everywhere, began to walk on his knees. His family had to change the floor of the house so he could walk around without injuring himself. Claudio’s bed, plugs and lights had to be made lower so that he could do things for himself without asking for help. He cannot use a wheelchair because of his unusual shape, making it hard for him to be independent outside the home – but he begged his mother to be allowed to go to school and learn with the other children. Doctors have recently diagnosed him with a rare condition called congenital arthrogryposis.

American Journalist, Steven Sotloff Beheaded By ISIS

American journalist Steven Sotloff has been executed by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), the group claims in a purported video released Tuesday.

Steven Sotloff Executed By Islamic State

Sotloff, who freelanced for Time and Foreign Policy magazines, had last been seen near Turkey-Syria border in August 2013, when he vanished without a trace.
He then appeared in a video released online last month by the Islamic State group that showed the beheading of fellow American journalist James Foley.
Dressed in an orange jumpsuit against the backdrop of an arid Syrian landscape, Sotloff was threatened in that video by the masked man who killed Foley.
The executioner called out U.S. President Barack Obama personally that unless the U.S. stopped air strikes on ISIS, Sotloff and more Americans would die.
Obama condemned the killing of Foley and the people who orchestrated it, while admitting his administration lacks a clear strategy for dealing with ISIS.
In the video distributed Tuesday, titled "A Second Message to America," Sotloff appears in a similar jumpsuit before being killed by an Islamic State fighter.
Like Foley before him, Sotloff was beheaded on video in gruesome fashion.

James Foley Executed By Islamic Militants

The chilling footage shows Sotloff making what appears to be a pre-written speech, as just Foley had read before he was killed a few weeks ago.
Addressing President Barack Obama, Sotloff says: "Your foreign policy of intervention in Iraq was supposed to be for the preservation of American lives and interests."
"Why is it that I am having to pay the price of your interference with my life?"
The masked ISIS fighter then threatens Obama and the U.S. again to stop the bombings or continue to pay with more American lives by his knife.
ISIS allegedly demanded a huge ransom in exchange for Foley's life; it's unclear if similar overtures were made and rejected in Steven Sotloff's case.
Abdel-Majed Abdel Bary, a British national who also goes by the name of J. Linny, is believed to be the man behind the mask during the Foley video.

It is unknown who killed Sotloff, who some observers believe was a marked man by ISIS, whose members target journalists for this graphic and political purpose.
