Girl sold for groceries

I just saw on the news that a girl was sold by her father for cash, beer, and meat. It reminded me of my cousin who traded $500 and a pickup truck for his wife. She was 14 at the time, just like this girl in the news. They lived together for several years in a house with a giant wagon wheel mounted on the outside. After a few kids however, she eventually left him. My cousin is now shacked up with his brother's daughter (yeah, that's right, his niece), and my Mom told me they even went down to the courthouse because they thought they could get a marriage license. If you don't know already, you do now, my extended family is quite strange. More on that later.
