For Sale: Secondhand Husband. Hardly Used. Just $516
March 22, 2001 12:05 pm EST

HANOI (Reuters) - A Vietnamese woman who failed to persuade her husband to give up a younger lover agreed to sell him to her for $516, a newspaper reported on Thursday.
The state-run Thanh Nien (Young People) newspaper said the younger woman paid the angry wife immediately and set up home with the husband.

It said the 41-year-old wife was now living alone in the southern province of Dong Nai.

These guys are tax-exempt, and for that matter, I will pay FIVE DOLLARS just for someone to keep them out of my sight!

Hmmm.... Ebay ...... now why didn't I think of that? :p

Now, doesn't that somehow violate some human rights laws, about people being bought and sold? Do you think they had to draw up papers or was it just an under the table deal? ;)

If I were the wife I would have tried to get more money, not because I thought he was worth it but just to get $$ for pain and suffering! :D

I don't think we will have many Civil rights laws to worry about if things keep going the way they are.
