JAVA, Indonesia (AFP) - A house for sale has gone viral online after the woman selling it offered to throw in an unusual extra feature for free- her hand in marriage! The internet ad reads for the most part like a regular house listing, saying that the single-stored property has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a parking space and a fish pond. But it also proposes to buyers a “rare offer”… "when you buy this house, you can ask the owner to marry you,” alongside a picture of Wina Lia, a 40-year-old widow and beauty salon owner, leaning against a car in front of the house.
The ad said that terms and conditions apply, and notes the offer is “for serious buyers and non-negotiable.” The house is Sleman, on the Island of Java, is on the market for 999 million rupiah- which is about US$75,000. News of the offer quickly spread among internet users in social media-crazy Indonesia.
Lia told AFP she was “shocked at the reaction,” as she had been overwhelmed by journalists coming to interview her, and even the police in the conservative , Muslim-majority country had been asking questions.The police “came to verify the news as they consider it as an improper advertisement. But I explained to them that it was not my idea,” she said.
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 instead of putting 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.
