Marry Our Daughter, 2007

The site pointed out that it is legal in many states for underage girls to marry older men: "Within the United States girls can marry as young as 13 years old with parental permission, and the Bride Price is a custom of long standing, mentioned many times in the Bible, and as such is a protected religious practice." This is true.
The site quickly attracted millions of viewers and generated an angry response. However, the site was actually a satire created by John Ordover, who claimed to be trying to draw attention to the strange childhood marriage laws that exist in many states.
