Five years ago, five hundred cows, two luxury cars, $10,000, two bikes, a boat and a few cell phones made up the final price in a heated bidding war for a child bride in South Sudan.
As the source article states: "... it's a tradition that goes back thousands of years."

Even in the 21st century. Disgusting.

I may find Child brides disgusting, but if Sudan was ok with it,
I say more Power to Them. like above, place & time

It's a way for certain cultures to cope with the inability to feed everyone in the family.
