What do U reflect on of this Dad accuse of selling girl into marital for bread, beer, doesn’t violate Mexican directive ?
GREENFIELD, Calif. — Greenfield Police Chief Joe Grebmeier said on Monday that his officers keep hearing rumors of arranged marriage between girls and older men.
Some of the rumored marriages involved girls as young as 10 years infirm being matched with men from their teens to their 60s, he said.
Until one case broke ending weekend, Grebmeier said, it has been difficult for police to look into the stories. People didn’t want to talk give or take a few the subject.
“Knowing and proving something are two different things,” he said.
The case started when a Greenfield father reported his 14-year-old daughter as a runaway on Jan. 2. Police now believe the father actually agreed to deal in his daughter into marriage to an 18-year-old neighbor, and he wanted the police to help return the girl because he hadn’t be paid.
The agreed-upon price was $16,000 in dosh, 150 cases of beer, 150 cases of soda, several cases of meat and two cases of wine, Grebmeier said.
After the couple spent a week together in Soledad, Calif., they returned to Greenfield and police interviewed them, he said. Police are seeking charges of statutory rape against the 18-year-old, Margarito de Jesus Galindo, Grebmeier said.
But officers, after interviewing the father again last weekend, suspected at hand was more going on than simply a runaway teenager.
“He wanted us to pick up his daughter because the operation had been finalized, but the remuneration was missing,” Grebmeier said.
Grebmeier said arranged marriage are part of the custom in many countries, including parts of Mexico. All of the individuals involved in the case are Mexican immigrants from Oaxaca, surrounded by southern Mexico, many of whom have settled in Greenfield.
“From what I read between the lines this doesn’t violate Mexican law or their customs where they came from,” Grebmeier said.
But the girl is four years below the age of consent in California, he said.
“We want to send a strong message with good opinion to the law on sex with minors and the sale of minors into bridal — that it’s illegal.”
Is this really the way things work in Mexico to be exact not a crime but a custom accepted by Mexico as a legal transaction ?

The point is he isn't living in Mexico is he? Here the U.S. have laws against underage children being sold for arranged marriages. Or anything else for that thing.
In the U.S. even if she was old enough, and does not consent, in attendance would be other charges she could file against both her father, and to whom she was sold to.
Consent means exactly that. She give her consent, and hers alone.
Great family values third world trash...
The age of consent in Mx is 12, so yes it does work that process. The Quinceanera (15 years old) is to let the men know that these girls are ready to be wives and mothers.
a very central problem that our government wants to overlook when offering amnesty to illegals. They do not know our laws and do not follow them. They verbs to follow their own laws and customs.
