Man Sells Daughter For Meat, Beer

I guess the buyer couldn't afford Miss Dylan's virginity.

Really though, this is sad. Though I wonder about the nature of the deal, since the girl went willingly. Could it be she hated her father, and who wouldn't hate a father that would sell his own child.

The man allegedly sold his 14-year-old daughter into marriage in exchange for $16,000, 100 cases of beer and several cases of meat. Police learned of the deal after the man went to retrieve his daughter because he was not paid as promised. An 18-year-old man (who we can only assume was the "husband") has also been arrested on suspicion of statutory rape. The girl claims that she went willingly with her older neighbor, but since she is too young to consent under California law, her "husband" will still be charged. Sadly, cases of arranged marriage involving underage girls have become increasingly common in this small farming community. [MSNBC]
