Sale of House in Indonesia -- With Free Wife
A woman in Indonesia has caused an unusual uproar on the internet with her advert for the sale of her house, there was actually nothing extra-ordinary about the house, it was just the unusual free feature she added to the sale, and what will that be? guess you already know from the topic of the post 'A Free Wife'
The Ads read 'for the most part like a regular house listing, saying that the single-storey property has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a parking space and a fish pond'.
But
it also proposes to buyers a "rare offer" -- "when you buy this house,
you can ask the owner to marry you", alongside a picture of Wina Lia, a
40-year-old widow and beauty salon owner, leaning against a car in front
of the house.
The ad said
that terms and conditions apply, and notes the offer is "for serious
buyers and non-negotiable". The house in Sleman, on the island of Java,
is on the market for 999 million rupiah (about $75,000).
News of the offer quickly spread among Internet users in social media-crazy Indonesia.
Boldies99,
a user on popular online forum Kaskus, said Lia was "quite smart --
even though the house will be sold, she will remain the owner."
Lia
told AFP she was "shocked at the reaction", as she had been overwhelmed
by journalists coming to interview her, and even the police in the
conservative, Muslim-majority country had been asking questions.The police "came to verify the news as they consider it as an improper advertisement. But I explained to them that it was not my idea," she said.
The mother of two explained that she had asked a friend who was a property agent to help her find a buyer -- and in the process a husband -- but she had expected him to pass on the news to a limited number of people, not put an ad online.
"I told a friend of mine who also works as property agent that if there is a buyer who is a single man or a widower who wants to buy a house, and at the same time look for a wife, he can let me know as I'm also a widow," she said.
She added that there was only one potential buyer, who had visited on Wednesday, but refused to give further details.
