Hoax web site: Marry Our Daughter

Marry our daughter is an American web site that claims it is a referral service for those wanting to marry young girls.

They say that their "service" centers on the fact that it is legal under US law to marry young girls (aged 14 to 16) with the consent of their parent or guardian.

Moreover, they advertise a set bride price for each girl ranging from $20,000 to $50,000. They even stress that the practice of the bride price is biblical and that the entire site is driven by

The testimonials page have cases where parents were able to keep their farm and add a few acres to it, parents who were able to get a new car, parents who got a pool and jaccuzi, and others who bought a house, jewelry, and "getting out of the trailer park". One young wife is proud to have her own credit card!

We all know that arranged marriages are acceptable in certain cutlures (e.g. Indian subcontinent). But, in that culture, the man does not pay the woman, but rather it is vice versa.

For this to happen in the USA smells of a form of white slavery disguised as a family and religion thing. Think of it as eBay for young girls.

Snopes and Museum of Hoaxes say that this site is a hoax. It may be, but it can also be a scam.
