Whew... the ranks of eligible candidates for "Father of the Year" were thinned by at least one yesterday with the onset of proceedings against one Marcelino de Jesus Martinez of Salinas, CA. Martinez is accused of selling his 14 year-old daughter into marriage for $16,000, beer and meat.
Police were tipped off to the dowry contract only after Martinez went to authorities to get his daughter back because payment wasn't made.

At first I too was appalled...but then I realized that I had only read "for $16,000 and meat". I totally missed the beer.
I'm curious as to whether he upped the ante with imported beer...

You mean Budweiser?
