Yeah, I saw that yesterday and headdesked. It is a fact that daughters are often 'sold' or 'traded' into marriage in many cultures worldwide. It's simply unacceptable. I hope that they really ding this man.

Hah, that's a fine add to the list. One can only wonder what he was thinking at the time.

"What else to trade for my daughter... Boy am I thirsty... A sports drink!"
