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?

  1. Its a little crazy the whole topic, to buy a person? like what the hell. Seriously its just goes to show how twisted society is. My uncle never got married and now he's almost 50. He found a chinese women online somehow, I don't really want to know how. But anyways he fly all the way to China to meet this women, only to never bring her home. I think they still chat over Facebook, but she speaks Chinese and my uncle doesn't know one word. He is a sweet guy and Im not sure how hard it is to be so lonely but what an odd way to meet someone. I just could never, that thought wouldn't even cross my mind. Thats so sad to hear what kind of risks women will do to get into America, you don't even know who your going to be living whit. If they buy a bride they must be a little crazy, right? I found hey article very interesting, I think ill be keeping up with your blogs:) so keep up the good work, it was an easy read.
