Known in Japan (and for some years on [[The Other Tropes Wiki]]) as the Hikaru Genji Plan, after the main character in ''[[The Tale of Genji]]'', who kidnapped a young girl named Murasaki from a life of poverty for the purpose of marrying her once she grew up. [[Don't Explain the Joke|The current name is a pun]], as Husbandry is the act of raising something (animal husbandry, plant husbandry, etc.), and [[Captain Obvious|also contains the word "husband"]].

* In [[Anne McCaffrey]]'s ''[[Tower and The Hive|Damia]]'', the titular character falls in love with Afra, her mother's best friend and advisor, who is ''twenty four years older'' than she is and ''literally'' helped raise her from the day she was born.

** Worse is Petyr Baelish adopting Sansa Stark, whose mother he was in love with and to whom he's now transferred that affection based on the fact that [[Replacement Goldfish|she looks exactly like Catelyn did]]. Oh, she's also thirteen years old. And pretending to be Petyr's bastard daughter. And when he asks her to come "give her father a kiss", he does not mean on the cheek.
