Some guy named Marcelino Martinez in California aranged a marriage to his 16 year old daughter for $16,000.00, 100 cases of Corona, 50 cases of Modelo, six bottles of wine, 50 cases of soft drinks, 50 cases of Gatorade, and some cases of meat. He got arrested when he told the authorities that he didn't receive the expected payment.
This guys facing mad criminal charges now, including procuring a child under age 16 for lewd and lascivious acts, statutory rape and cruelty to a child by endangering health.
I don't know about you, but this sounds like some old bullshit to me. Apparently arranged marriages are pretty common in Martinez's Indigneous Mexican Trique community, and he obviously was completely unaware he was doing anything wrong since he called the police himself. The age thing could come into question, but marriage in California is legal at 16 with parental consent, which was obviously there.
I mean we're in America and the whole arranged marriage thing doesn't really fly here, but it looks like we're just picking on this guy who's following a family tradition and BEING A FUCKING HUSTLER AT THE SAME TIME. I mean people sell themselves all the fucking time. Are we arresting those gold digger whores in Orange County who marry rich ass old timers who are on their death beds? No, we're not. We're giving them fucking reality TV shows, and now we're coming at Mr. Martinez's Dome piece because he wanted some fucking CERVEZA and not a diamond ring. FUCK THAT.
If the girl who got 'sold' had complained maybe we could look at it in a different light, but being that this was in San Francisco, the Bay Area police have more shit to worry about, like maybe not murdering innocent unarmed men in cold blood.
RIP Oscar Grant.
