Sthreedanamayi Aavishyapettath Facebook Likugal

Instead of the usual goods asked as dowry, such as camels and money, one Yemeni father asked his future son-in-law one million Facebook 'likes' for the privilege of marrying his daughter.

According to Arab media reports, Salem Ayash, a well-known Facebook user from Western Yemen, explained to a young suitor that he would grant his wish of marrying his daughter if the suitor managed to raise an extensive number of likes for his Facebook page dedicated to fighting rising dowry prices in Yemen.
