The title of the article I read is called The Plight of Vietnam's 'Mail-Order' Brides. I found the article in The Atlantic written on May 30 2012 and here the link where the article is at http://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2012/05/the-plight-of-vietnams-mail-order-brides/257814/   This article really didn’t tell me how much but gave me price of $5,000.00 for Vietnam’s mail-order brides. The other things that they really talked about was that they go out their way to get one and most are being abused after they get married or killed. A lot these brides are tricked into sham-marriages that were just a front for organized prostitution and after they are brought back pretty much they are put to work. They said that the entire Vietnam woman knows the risk of the danger they still do it. What’s the point to finding a bride in another country when you will be paying so much for it than come home to beat her or murder her. There’s some that do that to find wives and live happy ever after but some can’t deal with the language barrier they start fighting I guess that’s why they divorce or kill them. You don't know who you are ordering too and no personal relationship before marriage so that’s why they don’t connect but some manage to work it out. To me it’s a waste of money to buy a bride when you could find someone in your town plus the cost of divorce is too much. Here’s my question to you guys will you guys ever buy a mail order bride when you know the risk of it?
