Marry Our Daughter is an introduction service assisting families to arrange marriages for their daughters. Kyra A, a 14 year-old who hails from the southeast and loves the outdoors, comes with a bride price of USD 27, 995.
The site has gotten 20 million page views in the last two weeks and gets around a thousand (mostly angry) emails a day. The site's creator (and active nudist), John Ordover, has revealed that the site is indeed a prank.
Mr. Ordover quickly conceded the page was a parody aimed at drawing attention to inconsistencies in state marriage laws. States consider it a crime for adults to have sex with minors, but they allow kids as young as 12 to get married with parental and sometime judicial permission.

In an age when nearly half of all adolescents lose their virginity by age 15 and there are no jobs for them anyway, maybe going back to frontier and primitive customs is not a bad idea. Well, in Europe and Canada and the French Caribbean (and French Guyana) where the government pays child allowances to parents, there are incentives...
"As it turns out, Ordover’s intentions go deeper than poking fun. He says he was hired by a group of women from a local support group who'd been married out in similar fashions—and wanted to draw attention to a very real problem. Marriage laws vary by state in the U.S. and are often in conflict with statutory-rape laws, he says—meaning that, with parental permission, it's not uncommon to find girls as young as 13 married with children in states where the legal age of sexual consent is more like 17."
Fucking dumbasses. He's not trying to loosen marriage laws, he's trying to point out the fact that they don't work!
Look at poor Saddam and his weapons of mass destruction.
The guy is a nudist.
For the love of baby jesus, dont label him as a Pedo just because he is a naturalist.
