Old Testament ways to get a wife

Psst, guys! Didn't our religion teacher, priests and pastors told us that the bible is the source of knowledge and contains answers to our questions? Well, I bumped into a blog called Neatorama (http://www.neatorama.com) and got this post which originally belongs to Ian McKenzie of Ian’s Messy Desk blog and tells us 14 Old Testament Ways to Get a Wife. Here are the first five:

1. Find an attractive prisoner of war, bring her home, shave her head, trim her nails, and give her new clothes. Then she’s yours. - (Deuteronomy 21:11-13)

2. Find a prostitute and marry her. - (Hosea 1:1-3)

3. Find a man with seven daughters, and impress him by watering his flock.- Moses (Exodus 2:16-21)

4. Purchase a piece of property, and get a woman as part of the deal. - Boaz (Ruth 4:5-10)

5. Go to a party and hide. When the women come out to dance, grab one and carry her off to be your wife. - Benjaminites (Judges 21:19-25)

I personally find no.5 funny but I'd go for no.2 for practicality. wahah =p
