Keeping it Weird.....and creepy!

Macelino de Jesus Martinez, 36, was arrested Monday on suspicion of trying to arrange to have his 14 year old daughter marry Margarito de Jesus Galindo, 18, for $16,000, 100 cases of Corona, 50 cases of Modelo beer, several cases of meat, two cases of wine, 50 cases of Gatorade and 50 cases of soft drinks, authorities said. The girl moved in with Galindo and when payments were not received, her father called police to get his daughter back.

...very, very creepy! Obviously both men were arrested and are awaiting prosecution.

An interesting thing about this is that in southern mexico, where each man is from, arranged marriage with a dowry is still culturally accepted practice. I'm not sure, however, if massive quantities of bad beer are often part of the bartering.
