The sign is based on a false premise. Americans, on the whole, have never traded their daughters hand in marriage for a bunch of livestock. That’s something other cultures still do, such as in Africa. So they just spent a lot to design and erect a sign with a phony message. Their Sacred Cow has no milk.

A supposed biblical times custom.

They are claiming it was a financial transaction... the fellow bought the wife and the wife had no sayso in the matter.

That isn’t historically accurate at least as far as the Abrahamic line went, but it’s a glittery straw man.

And I’d be PRETTY sure... even in such societies... that the price was something that was needed in addition to the consent of the families involved. Not something that if paid obligated the bride to go to any comer.

This does represent, in a way, a total liberation... a horrible freedom to go to hell, even on earth, and so many people cheer it on.

No, don't fall for their misdirection. Marriage is between a man and a woman. How that man and woman get into that arrangement has nothing to do with the institution of marriage. Marriage definition has NOT been redefined, ever, until now.
