A man in Brazil offered to sell his wife for about $50 on an auction site. This is so wrong!The Secretariat of Public Policies for Women in Brazil announced late Friday it had ordered Mercado Livre, partially owned by eBay Inc., to remove the ad and warned it was violating a law banning the offer or sale of “human organs, people, blood, bones or skin.”
It was posted by a man who gave his name as Breno and said: “I sell my wife for reasons I prefer to keep short ... I really need the money.”
He described his wife physically and listed her qualities as a homemaker and companion. He reportedly said she was 35 and “worth her weight in gold.”
The advertisement was no longer visible on the site Saturday.
