Stumbled across this web site today - I thought it was a joke at first (and I still hope it is) but I'm not so sure. The following is from the "mission" page Marry Our Daughter is an introduction service assisting those following the Biblical tradition of arranging marriages for their daughters. Those who wish to list their Daughters with our site should click on SIGN UP OUR DAUGHTER on our main page for a form to fill out. Those who wish to propose to a specific Daughter should click on the PROPOSE button on the Daughter’s INFO CARD. Still curious? The web site is at www.marryourdaughter.com/ - The testimonial page is really over the top.

Holly...I have one thing to say and that is if this is for real then these people are sick. I mean selling a 14 yr old for money so they can have a car. Why don't they just get a job. You don't know if the testimonials are legitate but I can bet every letcher is signing up for God knows what ...slavery ...or worse.

Marry Our Daughter is an introduction service assisting those following the Biblical tradition of arranging marriages for their daughters. This is quite ridiculous. These girls are too young! It looks like some sect originating from fundamental Christians.

Good News! from: tinyurl.com/294o5z"Contacted through MarryOurDaughter this morning, Mr. Ordover quickly conceded the page was a parody aimed at drawing attention to inconsistencies in state marriage laws. States consider it a crime for adults to have sex with minors, but they allow kids as young as 12 to get married with parental and sometime judicial permission. “As far as I can tell, in every state but Oregon, parents can marry off their children,” Mr. Ordover said, pointing to this Cornell University Web site which tracks the various state marriage laws. Texas has a particularly ridiculous legal discrepancy, he says. Kids as young as 14 need parental permission to get married – unless, the law says, they have already been married before."
