Paid for teen bride

A 67-year-old man has bought the future right to marry a teenaged girl. The down payment was made in April 2004 and the rest will come when the marriage takes place.
The senior citizen has promised a total of NOK 800,000 (USD 118,700) to marry the girl, now aged 17, and has already paid NOK 70,000 for this right.
Family members on both sides are shocked. The man's daughter wants the police to intervene. She believes what her 'obsessed' father is doing is illegal and also fears that the mother and daughter have milked him for over NOK 1 million.
