Buy a house, get a wife free

Risingbd Desk: An advert for a house in Indonesia has gone viral online after the woman selling it offered to throw in an unusual extra feature for free - her hand in marriage.

In an attempt to sell her home, the woman has gone the extreme length of offering herself as part of the bargain.

At first it was assumed that the online real estate listing was a joke, but quite the contrary - the woman is selling herself and her home for $75,000.

Wina Lia, from Indonesia, listed her house for sale with local estate agent Rumah Dijual with the tagline: "Buy the house and you may marry the owner."

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.
