What is Bride buying?
'''Bride-buying''', also referred to as '''bride-purchasing''', is the industry or trade of purchasing a [[bride]] as a form of property. The wife is exchanged for a sum of money, or for other products. It is still practiced in parts of [[China]], [[India]] and [[Africa]]. It is illegal in many countries. It is described as a [[marriage of convenience]]. The people do not marry because they feel love or affection for each other, but they marry because one person gets an advantage by doing this. A common form of bride-buying is the [[Mail-order bride]]. [[Category:Slavery]] [[Category:Marriage]]
