content come along as we explore the
realities of this distinct marriage
service as it exists in our modern world
number 5 Eastern European and Southeast
Asia are the biggest markets ever
consider that you’re technically Asian
round-eyed Asian with blond hair I’m
Ukrainian making a joke though
mail-order brides have often been
referred to as Russian brides that
colloquial name is a bit of a misnomer
nowadays in the wake of the collapse of
the Soviet Union the women signing up
for such services were indeed
overwhelmingly of Eastern European
origin but in recent years it seems that
Southeast Asian countries have caught up
if not surpassed Eastern Europe it all
has to do with the socio-economic
situations in the countries of origin as
well as the gender distribution
countries in which there are
disproportionate number of men to women
or where the opportunities for women are
limited are more likely to see a booming
mail-order bride industry I don’t want
to get married to the men in my village
because the married couples always have
money problems in a min always get drunk
and mistreat their wives
number four there are two kinds of
services once the two people come to an
agreement
the bride’s medical check-up is done one
more time just to make sure then a
simple wedding ceremony is held after
the ceremony the groom comes back to
Korea and it’s our time to get busy
because we need to prepare the
immigration paperwork the thing about
the term mail-order bride is that it’s
rather misleading
you can’t just browse a website pick a
woman and have her delivered that would
be considered human
trafficking in the legal willed two
distinct kinds of mail-order bride
service exist the first is little more
than an international dating site
intended to connect men with women from
certain areas of the world such services
are relatively affordable but aren’t
necessarily going to result in speedy
nuptials the other option is to go with
an international marriage broker where
the goal is really finding a match ASAP
it doesn’t come cheap though estimated
expenses can easily get into the tens of
thousands

number three it’s got a long history in
America dear Bo as for all those
questions of yours yes I can swim yes I
can be at a hook men in America have
been looking long distances for women
for centuries but back in the day they
weren’t seeking a bride of a specific
ethnicity or chasing some antiquity
patriarchal fantasy they just weren’t
many women around when the western
frontier was first settled men who had
established themselves would take out
ads in papers back home in hopes of
attracting a bride to join them if a
woman was interested she would
correspond with her Western suitor by
mail and if all went well a proposal and
marriage would follow it was considered
a chance to start fresh and embark on an
adventure and quite frankly was a
necessary reality of the tines what’s
your interest in all this mr. Rory
unless she’s stole $10,000 from me and I
want it back there’s a rewarded who’s
willing help me bring her in number two
it’s risky I need some help prices I
made a huge mistake sorry we should
clarify yes for men seeking a mail-order
bride comes with the risk of
disappointment and financial loss should
your wife be using you as a quick ticket
to a better life and leave you shortly
afterwards however the risks faced by
women signing up for such services are
much more serious though almost all
marriage brokers insist on having the
husband and wife to be meet beforehand a
bride doesn’t really know her husband
until she comes to his home where with
no contacts and sometimes little
knowledge of the local language she can
easily be victimized by her new husband
there have even been multiple documented
cases of men killing their brides
yikes today was the first full day of
testimony in the case of Thomas Lane
accused of killing his overseas bride he
met online
number one it’s often results in
mismatched expectations
I wasn’t gonna lose one of the biggest
issues with the concept of ordering a
bride in the modern day is the
disconnect between the men and women who
sign up oftentimes such men are
reportedly seeking more of an
old-fashioned dynamic between man and
wife
this might work for some brides who are
happy to play the role in exchange for a
better financial situation and more
comfortable life but not all brides
according to a 2005 study from the Knox
college many mail-order brides are
specifically looking to get away from a
male-dominated society in favor of a
country with more progressive views of
equality and gender roles making them
ironically ill suited for the
aforementioned source of suitor do you
