According to Yahoo Australia:
A heated bidding war for a child bride has caused outrage after details were shared on Facebook.
Five hundred cows, two luxury cars, $13,000 in cash, two bikes, a boat and a few cell phones made up the final price in a heated bidding war for a 17-year-old in South Sudan.
The highest bidder was a man three times the girl's age.
At least four other men in Eastern Lakes state competed, Philips Anyang Ngong, a human rights lawyer who tried to stop the bidding last month, said. Among the bidders was the state's deputy governor.
