A man was married to a wooden effigy in Uttar Pradesh on Thursday as per his father's wish.

The bizarre wedding took place in Ghurpur with all the elaborate rituals.

It is not just that the wedding was bizarre but the reasons why Shiv Mohan got his son married in this fashion were equally strange.
