I am not sure this thing was legally process through. I believe it is just word of mouth because there were no legal document that I have seen of this law. There was a time, I totally disagree with the Hmong marriage tradition but now my view are little different. American have there ups and downs as well as Hmong. I forgot what this is call in English, when Americans get marry they have sign this agree or something. I believe our parents love us very much, so I don't think they are selling us for money. About the amount it depends if the daughter level of education, ability to work, and so. If you are a master gradate making about $100,000 a year, I don't think you want to be only $5,800. It depends.
and that includes the ceremonies too. She was a normal, okay girl who ran off with the guy but still in high school. :loool: I don't know what made her worth so much for her parents. Maybe they just wanted to sell her off, don't know. aughhh...... that makes me angry. She even got married a couple of months before the shit law came around the communities. Dime that part of it.
