I hate to disagree but it sounds like the groom failed to pay the brideprice."How much for the women?"

True but generally you will not see Mexicans drinking Corona. I have spent a lot of time in Mexico since the mid 80’s and what you mostly see consumed by the locals in Tecate and Carta Blanca, and to a lesser extent, Bohemia. Most locals bars don’t even sell Corona, they reserve that for the tourists in the tourist areas. I am not a huge fan of Mexican beer but when I was down there I almost always drank Pacifico or XX Lager (The green label). Of course come Christmas time I used to love picking up some Noche Bueno. Now tequila, give me a nice bottle of Don Julio and I’m a happy camper.

If youre gonna negotiate for 160 cases of beer, youd better specify the brand or youll get some really bad stuff, man.Weidemans... 2/3 the price of a case was the deposit on the bottles!

This story is over a year old. Is there some new development?

I thought the Gatorade was a nice touch.It's important to keep your electrolytes replenished.

All those involved in the case are from the western Mexican state of Oaxaca, the police chief said. In the Oaxacan community, such an agreement is "normal and honorable,"I believe it was Paul Harvey who used to say when reporting stories such as this "It's not 'One World'."

“In the Oaxacan community, such an agreement is “normal and honorable,..” “
Uh, I know a hell of a lot of Mexicans who would disagree with that statement. Just a guess, but these people might be ‘Indians’ rather than suburban or citified Mexicans.
Selling a young girl is not “normal and honorable” for the majority of Mexicans.
Are we talking here about bride price? Then we’re talking about another culture other than modernized Mexico.

I remember being in a mexican grocery store (in mexico) and they had budweiser for something like $10 a sixpack. Sol, Superior, Dos XX’s not so much.

And if it had happened with an underage Christian Caucasian, they’d have in-depth stories on how these “Bible-thumper” parents likely voted for Bush.

"In California, it's against the law." Another fine example of Hispanics who, as Nancy Pelosi says, "make America more American."

What cuts? How many pounds? What brand of beer?
There are so many questions left unanswered here. Journalism is dead.

The article is dead wrong in saying Oaxaca is a Western state. It is in the deep South of Mexico. Indigenous Mexico. You are correct in saying this is part of the "Indian" culture and these are in fact "Indians." Oaxaca is 70% indigenous.
In the subcontinent of India,Hindu India, it would be the other way around. The Groom would get money and "stuff."

To be fair that is like Judging America based on Detroit,New Orleans, South Chicago, etc.
To show the trend of Mexico becoming more European the more North you go using Chihuahua as an example it is 5% Indian with 50% European.
To: Pylon
Tecate, all the way. And if I can’t get it, XX. Although, Carta Blanca isn’t bad, and I like Sol.
