Yes. By Chinese way of live.

In China, some wives are shared, for women is less than 50% of the population. They are also sold, as I watched China's local TV.

For example, I am poor, and I promise to sell my wife to a rich man. I lie to my wife that we go for a business. I drive my wife to the house of the rich man. While my wife sits watching TV in a room, I go to the other room to receive thousands of China currency, and then sneak out of the house and drive home.

When I watch this clip, I am surprised asking a Chinese sitting next to me, that the wife may not agree with the sale. The answer is that most of the case, the sale is accepted without protest of the wife. She does not get benefit from the sale. However, she has a new life with a gentlemen rather than with a bastard.
