What kind of fool would BUY a wife??? Wives are supposed to come with their own money nowdays, and a prenup!

Equal rights, right ladies?

You don’t know these folks were illegals (unless you read the linked story).

You’re just saying that because illegals do this kind of deplorable stuff all the time.

What did that poor child endure after the father gave her away? If he didn't get his money, meat and beer, the child still has to live with what she got.
