I recently found this article on the Slate called In Defense of Mail-Order Romance by Kerry Howley posted on June 11, 2009 at 10:05am.  Here’s the link of you want to read more about it. http://www.slate.com/blogs/xx_factor/2009/06/11/in_defense_of_mailorder_romance.html. This article really didn’t answer my question but was very interesting to read. This was very interesting to know that they question the brides why they married for the time they only knew the groom. A lot of the questions are more of the line why are you doing and is it more for money or to get out of this country. This woman was very honest with the answer that she loves her husband and she married to get out of Ukraine. Than they question themselves if it is right to let her have the freedom of the right to be a residency and that she loves later. To me that is just wrong to find love with someone you just meet for a month but then again I get where she’s coming from to get away whatever she faces every day in Ukraine.  I get why they ask questions to make sure that they just don’t give a green card to anyone.  If I was in their shoes I think I would do the same but then again it’s a risk they all take.  I think a lot of women do it to get out and don’t really care if they get hurt or not. Some get lucky when they marry but some are not. My question to you is would you just marry for these reason?
