Arranged Marriages


The internet has many many weird things on it. Including this crazy website all about arranging marriages and making the men pay a pretty penny!

Marry Our Daughter is an introduction service assisting those following the Biblical tradition of arranging marriages for their Daughters.
We charge a variable fee per listing, depending on the bride price requested and other factors. Potential grooms are not charged. We do not assist in negotiations, we only provide introductions

The girls ranged from 13-17.5 and priced at 3,995 all the way up to 99,995 for a girl who had been on "local billboards" apparently thats something you look for in a child bride. My favorite blurb on the site for the girl pictured above, is here:

Kimberly was raised from birth knowing that her place in life was to be a good wife and mother and she might as well get started on that now. She knows God put her on Earth to serve her husband like it says in the Bible and we’ve made sure she knows exactly how to do that.

She will cost you 20,995. I wonder how parents decide how much to sell their children for?
