This relates to teaching your children about money in what way? You'll have to educate me on this, I'm missing the point.
I think it was off-topic, but presumably the point being raised is whether the presence of morally objectionable passages in a book (or more broadly, teachings in a religion) means that the religion or its book have nothing to say to us.

It's a financial transaction.

However, based on my clients, the current issue with sale tends to be for underage marriage, where you need parental consent to get married.

So, the potential husband and the mother of the underage girl may enter into negotiations, such that, for example, the man offers payment to the mother for her signature on the consent form.
