"Marry Our Daughter" - Disgusting Website, page 1

I have seen a lot of weird and disturbing things in my years on the internet but this is right up there with some of the worst.

Marry Our Daughter is a website where parents put their daughters up for sale (some as young as 13) to men on the internet. All defended by the bible.

some quotes from the website:

Marry Our Daughter is an introduction service assisting those following the Biblical tradition of arranging marriages for their Daughters.

Q: IS YOUR SERVICE LEGAL? A: Absolutely. Within the United States girls can marry as young as 13 years old with parental permission, and the Bride Price is a custom of long standing, mentioned many times in the Bible, and as such is a protected religious practice.

Some of the disturbing testimonials:

"At first we were worried that Janine was too young to get married, but then her new husband bought her a house and a car and jewelry and the money we got let us buy a house for ourselves. Getting out of the trailer park at our age was the best thing that ever happened to us, and it’s all thanks to Marry Our Daughter!"

“I was SO scared getting married so young, but my husband is an okay guy and I am SO proud that because of me my parents were able to get their first brand-new car and take the trip they always wanted to. I couldn’t have done it without your site!"

“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!"

A couple sold their daughter off so they could have a HOLIDAY?! This is sick.

When I first saw this site I thought it HAD to be a joke, but I can't find anything that says it is. If you do then please, by all means, show me.

Does anyone else think that these people putting their daughters up for sale to strangers on the internet at such a young age and all in the name of the bible as disturbing as my friends and I do?

Well they must also put into consideration the life expectancy when the bible was written, and also those times are very different from today. Selling your daughter off for marriage is very wrong in my opinion, but it is still done by some Muslim families around the world.

I'm in Australia but I'd imagine they'd have very strict laws against pedophiles in the US, but apparently this is a protected religeous practice and the website says that it is legal for girls as young as 13 to be married in the US, as long as they have their parents permission.

That doesn't make it any less wrong though.

Yes, I saw the trailer park comment also and thought 'Bloody figures'.

But I suppose they are saying that MARRYING the girls at 13 is legal, but anything sexual that the husbands do with the girls has nothing to do with the website, as marriage is the only 'service' they are providing.

They're pretty much just chucking the children to the perverts.

It's a prank site, a parody aimed at drawing attention to inconsistent marriage laws

bits.blogs.nytimes.com...

“People get angry so fast they don’t stop to question whether its real,” says the creator of MarryOurDaughter.com, John Ordover, who masqueraded as the site’s fictional publicity director, the unlikely surnamed Roger Mandervan.
Mr. Ordover is a science-fiction editor with a prankish history and an interest in urban nudism.
Contacted through MarryOurDaughter this morning, Mr. Ordover quickly conceded the page was a parody aimed at drawing attention to inconsistencies in state marriage laws.

HOAX

The founder was wanting to bring attention to marriage and statutory rape laws.

Oh, well there you have it. Cheers.

Gotta say, I'm pretty relieved.

End of thread I guess?

This was up a couple weeks ago, decried and debunked here:

Agreed with Chikey,

No matter how hot this site is, we have to remember it's just a gag. So, no need to start saving, no one can buy a 16 year old girl for $40,000.
