Marry Our Daughter
 
http://www.marryourdaughter.com/

MUST be a hoax. I think it's a criticism of certain marriage customs that survive. The testimonials really give it away as being false. I'm interested to hear what you guys think of this.

You know: They say it's 'absolutely legal' in the FAQs, but I think it's more of a gray area. While they are technically correct that you can marry as young as thirteen with parental consent, the whole 'consummating' thing becomes an issue with ages of consent.

Kind of amusing, though.

Yeah, it's a joke. Some of them are pretty damn funny, though.

"We got tired of Carrie so we're marrying her off, out of our hair!"

I think I recognise some of these girls from my high school.

Which would be understandable why their parents would want to marry them off for a price.

Another good tip off to it's joking nature are the high quality of the pictures and the fact that none of the candidates are ugly as sin.

The testimonials are great, too.

Quote:

“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!"
Ah, the love of a parent for their daughter. Is there anything more touching?

Who wants to try and propose to one of them? Do they ask for a credit card number or something?

Nikose Tyris 09-12-2007 09:08 AM

I totally would, except that Kaitlyn would MURDER ME.

Do et Do et Do et.

They don't want a credit card, they just want an email and a thousand word proposal. They'll get back to you in 6-8 weeks.

If anyone actually wants to try it and see what response they get, go right ahead.
