Ok, a similar question on the topic.
 
In the same sense, can we also replace "whose" with "of whom" for animate objects?
 
i.e. The boy whose teeth are broken is going to be a king.

 The boy the teeth of whom  are broken is going to be a king. 
 
I know the 2nd example sounds unnatural. The question is, is it grammatically sound?

Yes, it is correct, but please don �t ever use it. You are right that it sounds unnatural.
