Can This Be Real?-

When I first went to this site I laughed, thinking it to be satire.

Now I am appalled, parents selling their underage daughters and apparently it’s legal heres an excerpt from the sites FAQ.

Q: IS YOUR SERVICE LEGAL?
A: Absolutely. Within the United States girls can marry as young as 13 years old with parental permission, and the Bride Price is a custom of long standing, mentioned many times in the Bible, and as such is a protected religious practice. Click HERE for a listing of the age limits and legal requirements in various states. Click HERE for what the Bible says on Bride Price.

Q: WHAT IS A BRIDE PRICE?
A: The bride price is an ancient custom, somewhat like a dowry. A man wishing to marry a woman would offer her family a Bride Price in cash or kind, or sometimes offer to work for their family.

This is scary….and the religious right thnks we are sick…please tell me this isnt real.

I'm pretty sure you have to be 18 years old to get married even in the US. I am basing this legal advice on fading memories of the movie "my cousin winnie". You get what you pay for.

Melissa’s father died when she was three and her mother when she was ten; she’s been living with family since then. She is polite and thoughtful young lady and the winner of several local beauty contests. She is tired of being “down on the farm” and would prefer the bright lights and big city lifestyle, but most of all wants a man who can take care of her.

Alabama: If either of you are under 18, you will need a certified copy of your birth certificate. Both parents must be present with identification, or if you have a legal guardian they must be present with a court order and identification. If one or both parents are deceased, proper evidence of such must be provided. Individuals under the age of 14 may not marry.
