From the Dept. of taking back what was not yours to give in the first place....

GREENFIELD, Calif. — 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 say they only learned of the deal after 36-year-old Marcelino de Jesus Martinez went to them to get his daughter back because payment wasn't made as promised.

I thought that we had passed the era when woman were slaves about 1000 years ago or so.   Lock this guy up and throw away the key (providing that he is guilty - hard not to be when he admits he did something wrong so he can get his money back).
