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 said they only learned of the deal after the 36-year-old man went to them to get his daughter back because payment wasn't made as promised. The man was arrested Sunday on suspicion of human trafficking.

- Looks like it's catchy. This is America SD screw the history lesson. He deserves prison, and she deserves parents that care for her. I hope it was at least a good Ale.

- I hope it was premium beer.
  
  People act shocked but this is how it was (has been?) for thousands of year - arranged marriages thru trade and barter. In England, the bride came with a dowry not the other way round (must say something about english girls;) - I kid! I kid!)
  
  I agree that the father should be punished but I am a bit wary of slapping the 18 year old wouldbe groom/buyer with stat rape considering there's only 4 years difference in age. It's not like she was 12 and him 42. He can't even drink legally for another 3 years - which is why he may have been willing to part with the beer in the first place.
