Buying a teenage slave girl, immediately impregnating her and calling her "a wife" - those were the days!
Damn liberals and their "new" definition of marriage.
And Bride-price in Deuteronomy. A shekel was about 15 grams of silver. This means you would need about 750 grams of silver. At today's price of about $20 an ounce, for 26.5 ounces, that is about $530.
