you know, arranging marriages is one thing, certaintly not a positive thing, but i suppose in some religious/cultural contexts its just the way it goes....

but a "bride price"....um... how is this not prostitution?

42k, 90k, 16k, 4k, it's like they're selling used fucking cars.

How in the fucking hell do you offer a 14 year olds hand in marriage to whoever will come up with the dough???

I'm gonna have to contact some officials about this, its that disturbing
