India's Rent-a-Wife Catching On


"For $175 a month she'll cook, she'll clean, she'll dance the hoochie-coo"

The Harpoville Post reports that a shortage of wives in India has started a boom in another way, the rent-a-wife trade. It seems India's male desire for 'the little woman' has left some with, some without and some with just cashing in.

The Harpoville Post has learned that some husbands in India have decided to have their cake and eat it too when it comes to being married and knowing a lull in any market can drive the price up and these cash hungry Hindus are cashing in on this bullish market. Some men are renting they're wives to other men for as much as $175 US a month which is nothing to sneeze at when you consider the average farm wage in that country sits at the $22 per. month range. So, the rent-a-wife service is like they've died and gone to Hindu heaven.

The Harpoville Post reports that after years of forgoing female fetuses for male masculinity has left that country's he to she ratio slightly askew and with prostitution illegal in India rent-a-wife brokers are popping up like poppies in Afghanistan to help pick up the slack and fill an ever widing hungry void. Now it seems once again the haves are shelling out to the have-nots.

The Harpoville Post has also learned that although these have-nots with will still be doing without as word of the find-a-bride brokers are slicing their pie far from the bone and has them collecting as much as $1520 for a suitable female bride-to-be but, only handing back $435 to her family.
