Default Man accused of selling daughter for cash, beer

GREENFIELD, Calif. (AP) — Police have arrested a Greenfield man for allegedly arranging to sell his 14-year-old daughter into marriage in exchange for $16,000, 100 cases of beer and several cases of meat.

Police said they only learned of the deal after the 36-year-old man went to them to get his daughter back because payment wasn't made as promised. The man was arrested Sunday on suspicion of human trafficking.

Officers also arrested an 18-year-old man on suspicion of statutory rape. Investigators believe the girl went willingly with the man, but she's under California's legal age of consent and can't legally marry.

Police say arranged marriages involving underage girls have become a problem in this small Central Coast farming community.

Is this not a repost? Or was there something very similar not too long ago?

Either way, it's pretty messed up.

That's the cultural norm in some asian cultures, maybe minus the beer, but money, jewelry and livestock are common forms of dowry payment...
