On Trying to Sell Your Daughter for Boxes of Meat -- and Getting Caught

Meat When the fella who bought his daughter for marriage was late on payments, a California father -- undoubtedly with good intentions in mind -- was determined to repossess his 14-year-old child from the deadbeat, police say.

That didn't go too smooth. No it did not. Problem is, see, it's illegal to sell your daughter into marriage for $16,000, beer and cases of "meat." Both men have a lot of answering to do with authorities. Do the math: the buyer was 18 and that plus 14 equals 32 which makes it statutory rape, even if she went willingly. And of course she did! Her father trades people for meat. Really! Here's the story.

As for Daddy, we'll see him in prison, where people really do get traded for stuff. But good stuff, like cigarettes and "back rubs."
