I think that's awful, and I don't see how it's that different from prostitution.
I wish that instead of growing old "waiting for a husband" these women would make lives for themselves without regard for what society has to say about marriage.
And seriously, I can't imagine anything more pathetic than a "man" who would actually stoop to "buying" a wife.

What's the difference between this and match.com? Not much in my book. At the end of the day this is just a little more in your face. Most of the world doesn't get married based on love - it's often based on stability.
Eh it's funny to make fun of the guy who "bought" his wife, but is he really better than the guy who found his future wife dancing half naked in a bar, got her even more drunk, slept with her and after she forced his number out of him got him to dfate her?
This isn't slavery people. That's ridiculous and belittles what actually is. The Sudan runs an incredibly large slave trade. A lot of countries come to mind that run prostitution trades where they lie to women to get them to immigrate and then force them into slavery. This isn't the case here.
