An elderly Jotsholo couple married off their 17 year old grand-daughter for a goat and $50 to a 74 year old man.
The couple are aged 80 and 72.
They claim to have seen a business opportunity after the 74 year old was constantly pestering their grand-daughter for sex.
However, the 74 year old chased away the girl claiming she was sleeping around.
That meant her grandparents had to pay back the goat and cash.
The couple forced to girl to go back to her husband as they failed to pay back.
"Our granddaughter proposed to work for our neighbour because we had no source of income. At first William gave us $50 and a goat which was worth $60 and that was her salary for two months," said the girl's grandfather.
