Brazil bans internet advert for sale of wife

The Brazilian government has ordered an internet site to remove an advertisement in which a Brazilian man offered to sell his wife for 100 reals, or £25.

The Secretariat of Public Policies for Women ordered the suspension of the ad and issued a warning to the Free Market website for violating a law that bans the offer or sale of “human organs, people, blood, bones or skin,” the agency said on its website.
