We can take the high road because we do take the high road. If a guy in Canada racked up some sort of debt and paid that debt off with his child he'd be crucified (in the public opinion and media) and sent to prison. So would the guy who accepted the "payment".
I get the whole "it's a different culture and we have to take that into account", but that only goes so far and can only apply to so much. This story is about one "man" selling his child and another "man" buying her, and the transaction is being defended by some disgusting cretin and his idiotic interpretation of a religion.
I'm sure very few (a chosen few -- the pedophiles, nuts and stupid people) agree with this kind of practice. Unfortunately that chosen few have too much (more than zero) power.
