The website owner, John Ordover, a viral-marketing consultant based in Brooklyn, N.Y., gave NEWSWEEK access to his gmail account where all emails were forwarded to reveals the proposals recieved from grooms for the profiles on the website. As per newsweek it turns out, Ordover’s intentions go deeper than poking fun. He says he was hired by a group of women from a local support group who’d been married out in similar fashions—and wanted to draw attention to a very real problem.

The problem raised by John focuses on USA only but there is a need to raise voice in other countires also where people are really selling their daughters for an hefty amount directly or indirectly. In Asian countries you can see everyday this happening where parents settle the marriage for foriegn groom in the hope that their daughter will settle abroad in countires like USA, Canada , UK etc. Even sometimes grooms pay an amount to marry young girls who does not matches their age. When will that issue be taken on board.
