You name it, this is wrong and I have zero tolerance for it. Crosses a line and I don't give a flip if Jesus, Buddha, or Allah says it's ok; I say it's wrong:

The father gave away his daughter to settle a debt. It's not about age. It's about slavery.
If you ask me, debt is a yoke of slavery all its own. On second thought, perhaps their goal is to drive us into further debt because they want slaves. 😉

Stalinism was another example.
