China warns of mail-order bride ads
SHANGHAI, Aug. 30 (UPI) -- Chinese authorities are warning men to be wary of marriage agency advertisements to find them wives from Southeast Asian nations.
Global Times, part of the Chinese Communist Party paper People's Daily, reported in Shanghai officials have found several cases involving young Southeast Asian women in the city this year. There has been a surge of mail-order advertisements in Shanghai promising to find wives from Southeast Asia.
"Also, men should really think twice before getting married, especially if they don't know the bride well," said an announcement Monday from the Shanghai Exit-Entry Administration, the report said.
Officials with the administration said they have received complaints from a number of men saying such women, for whom they paid a high price, had disappeared a few months after marriage.
"One victim told us that he was unable to reach his … wife after she went back home for a visit," administration spokesman Li Feng told the Global Times. "We suspect that there are many more like him in the city." The man is reported to have paid $7,400 in agency fees and an additional $5,500 to the woman's family.
