Wow… This is jaw-dropping, but it has to be a joke. MarryOurDaughter.com is a website where parents get to auction off their daughters hand in marriage.

I honestly do not know what else to say.

I am stunned.

Is it common practice to force your 14 year old daughter into marriage?

The best part of the site has to be the testimonials section, with lovely quotes like this one from Mrs. James P.:

“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!” - Mrs. James P.

You mean I can trade my daughter in for a swimming pool AND a jacuzzi? Fantastic!

I just feel bad for the girls marked at bargain basement prices… How humiliating.
