Journal admbws's Journal: Extortionate Bride Prices 1
According to Leviticus 27:3-7, the Recommended Retail Price of a woman aged between 20 and 60 is thirty shekels of silver. With about 0.364 Troy ounces to the shekel, at current market prices, that works out at about $56. Younger girls can be had for as little as ten shekels ($19). Seeing the extortionate mark-ups on most mail-order bride websites, the bible ones are a bargain in comparison. I think I might invest in a few. It always pays to shop around.
