Marry our daughter...

I'm still trying to figure out if this site is real yet or someone is having fun at the expense of wealthy, lonely men who's ships have stopped coming in.



Do you think it's too late to get my deposit back?

[Irn Bru]

This is sick.

This guy was on the radio in Atlanta the other day. He is completly serious and is making lots of money this way.

A. He needs a firey poker up his azz
B. The parents should rot in hell as well

[Irn Bru]

My god. These are kids... I feel sickened. I'm actually failing to find the words.

[Irn Bru]

“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!"

—Katrina K., married at 14

Yes, I'd get marred so my parents could get a new car and go on holiday... are these people retarded or something?!?!

“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.

Again... goodbye, daughter, hello swimming pool... WTF?!

Isn't there some sort of legal age for getting married?!

[Ophelia]

You should have heard him on the radio. He was totally fine with himself. The DJ's were firing off on him but he never flinched. I'll see if they put the interview up online....

With parental consent the legal age is as low as 14 in some states.

[Jocasta]

I can't believe it. It's a hoax, right? Tell me it is.

[Irn Bru]

Just read the FAQ page:

Within the United States girls can marry as young as 13 years old with parental permission

(I'm actually in shock right now)

the Bride Price is a custom of long standing, mentioned many times in the Bible

(Why am I not surprised? A two thousand year old custom is certainly the way to go in today's society...)

WHEW>>>>Everybody breathe. In going back to look for the interview, I read on the stations site that this is all a big hoax. THANK GOD. now i'm just wondering who the f they interviewed on the radio????

[Irn Bru]

Thank god for that. I'll admit that I fell for it. I can actually believe that there will be websites like this out there. It raises a lot of questions about discrepancies in US law... girls can be married off at 14 but does that mean sex is legal? Surely it would be rape?

Meh. I'm still annoyed.

[Blackmask]

The words "slavery" and "child prostitution" come to mind.

So it was a hoax. That's good.

[baybee]

^Really!! I was scared for a minute...

[Blackmask]

“People get angry so fast they don’t stop to question whether its real,” says the creator of MarryOurDaughter.com, John Ordover

I think it's more that people are so creeped out by some of the real things that do happen that nothing is a surprise for how low someone can go.

Bugger, I had my credit card out till I saw it was a joke.

[Captain Beefheart]

Hi, I'm Chris Hansen from Dateline NBC.........

If the site was real I wouldn't have posted it. Arranged marriages were only funny 200 years ago.

Remember the bonsai kitty site years ago? It involved using muscle relaxers in order to put a cat into a jar. This is what I believe the site master said how he/she did it.

http://www.shorty.com/bonsaikitten/index.html

"Months ago, you have masterfully shaped my kitten into a trapezoid; however, now, the 45-degree angle on the tail side is weakining, making her more of a rhombus than anything. Although, I could reinforce the front side with the angular clamps you sell, I'm afraid she might turn out to be a parallelogram. Any tips?"

Yes cutoms that work and keep families together definitely are not the way to go. They should **** strangers in clubs for the next 20 yeears then marry at 40 (it will take 5 years to convince soeone to marry them) and then get divorced and live a terribly lonely life where her children hate her but she gets to steal her ex-husband's money every month. Clearly we know how to do things. obviously things that make sense no longer make sense when the earth rotates around the sun.

Though you could end up giving your daughter away to this guy

You'd maybe still be surprised by some of the things out here in a democratic country. The woman that works for us was married at 11 and gave birth at 12.

Yes, the same one that was stealing from me.
