    Default Marry Our Daughter

    http://marryourdaughter.org/index.php

    What do you think? A great opportunity to bring back the tradition of marriage, or just a way to pimp out young girls?

    I think its a wonderful concept. Who knows a 15 year old girl better than her parents? They would be the experts on finding her a suitable spouse!

    ummm...I seriously hope this is site is a joke. I'm not a huge fan of arranged marriages to start with and this just seriously bothers me.

    Bring back arranged marriages! All of my friends from Pakistan whose family helped arrange their marriage are exceedingly happy.

    I really don't know what to think. This is still common in a lot of countries. I think it all depends on the girl going up on the market.

    I mean most modern 15 year old girls are horrified at the idea of their parents picking out their school clothes.
    I hope life isn't a big joke, because I don't get it.

    I get the feeling it might be a joke because of the ads on the side that are basically their competition. And the way the descriptions are worded. It's like the same person write every one.

    And most modern 15 year old girls are dirty whores! Its time for parents to be parents, and insure their daughter will always be safe under a steady, unweilding hand of her husband.

    well, maybe not the concept is a joke....but the site seems....off.

    I like how they have the token jew and how they are priced like cars. Not $25,000. But $24,995.

    Of course the site is a joke. Its actually his way of demonstrating the stupididty of marriage and age of consent laws.

    I think it is hysterical!!

    dur. Cam is right.

    don't know why I didn't do this sooner

    "Contacted through MarryOurDaughter this morning, Mr. Ordover quickly conceded the page was a parody aimed at drawing attention to inconsistencies in state marriage laws. States consider it a crime for adults to have sex with minors, but they allow kids as young as 12 to get married with parental and sometime judicial permission."

    Yeah, modern times are already so stressful and dehumanizing, why leave something like marriage to chance, and the unreliable judgment of young women?

    But what distresses me about the site is the focus on money, that's despicable. The women should be traded honorably, for horses, sheep, or cattle.

    Good point Djoser. A true dowry would also include sundry items and hard assets. Thank you, at least someone here is as enlightened as I am.

    The site is no joke, its real! They have debunked in on Snopes to keep the Feds out of it. But its all true, and such a refreshing cultural paradigm!

    When I was in Dubai recently, I asked the cab driver how many camels could parents would get for me. He said not many because I'm American.

    I wasn't sure whether to be offended or not.

    That is sick... hell one family on their has their daughter 'for sale' for $6000. Most of the girls seem to be 'troubled' and its like their family is selling them away.

    What a great way for pedophiles to pick up some fresh virgin meat.
    And at the bargain price of $6000. What a deal!

    Yeah, I was wondering about the pedophilia thing, too. But I'm with everyone that it's a joke. I'm pretty sure even Katrina's pulling our leg.[

    for something that's rooted squarely in the past...

    From their testimonials page: “Our 15 year old daughter Mary wasn’t very popular and did nothing but mope around the house bringing everybody down, so we decided to marry her off through your site. Now our house is a lot cheerier and we love our new swimming pool and Jaccuzi! We’ve told our youngest that when she turns 15 we’re going to marry her off too!"

    LOL! I'm sure you'd bring in a nice herd.

    Have you noticed the variance in dowry on that site?

    I'm taking it as satire... no one would sell their daughter into marriage for less than 20K right?
    I've come a long way since I believed in anything, and I've come half way around the world.

    Where you come from is gone.
    Where you thought you were going to was never there,
    and where you are, ain't no good unless you can get away from it.
