O Casamento...
Jorge A.
...em Cuba:
At present, vehicles are divided into two categories: those registered before 1959, and those after it. The former (mainly 1940s and 1950s American imports) are viewed by the government as relics from the island's capitalist past and can still be legally bought and sold. Cars imported after that date are deemed state property (initially handed out to loyal workers and Communist Party officials), whose ownership can be passed only within families. Cubans, famed for their ingenuity in circumventing rules, have been known to get married simply to gain legal possession of a car, and then divorce.
