Check finances of men taking foreign brides
-
Mar 24, 2011 - ST Forum
I WONDER if love is in the equation when Singaporean men decide to marry foreign brides ("Bride and gloom"; last Saturday).
Many brides have to bear with abuse at home as they are at the mercy of their husbands, who can cancel their long-term social visit passes at any time. More should be done to protect foreign brides.
Lack of legislation also means that any man with cash in hand can literally "buy" a bride.
There is also a lack of financial checks on the part of matchmaking agencies to ascertain if a man is capable of raising a family. It is always easy to "buy" a bride but maintaining a family is not so simple.
Moreover, children born into domestic violence are likely to copy their parents by either being abusive or uncomplaining victims of abuse when they grow up.
The Government should ensure that men seeking foreign brides are able to afford raising a family. They must have a decent job and be able to at least provide for the family's basic needs.
The men must also be made to sign an undertaking not to abuse their wives, or face criminal prosecution if they do so.

*$&#^ lah..
i can see the bleeding hearts out there saying the checking of finances is "discrimination" and all kinds of stuff...
also saying that this is not "buying of a wife"
but it essentially is for quite a lot of these cases.. old men buying a mail-order bride from some impoverished village or something...
-
can always ban this type of trade; not good way of promoting family.
-
na, singapore lack of babies now
they are encouraging more "foreign brides" and "Foreign Talent"
-
Oh I believe most of them hold decent jobs.
Just not enough to support a family in Singapore.

Not sure where this is going, if so then maybe match rich women to marry poor men, that evens out things?
Without money, no one is anybody in this town.

agreed, yes that is the way. -
Actually I think some men treat their purchased bride as a commodity since they were bought.
I mean seriously these days mail-order brides are cheaper than a pet fish -_-"

Oh goodness...why ask this question? -
Might be easier to check for money flowing the other way: wives buying citizenship.

so the problem lies with the definition of grading.
younger means better grade?
they're buying sex, not a marriage.

China women are fiercely materialistic & married men has highlighted a growing social problem here. Businessmen keeping them as mistresses and retirees being fleeced of their retirement money by China Women. It also has a negative social impact. Thousands of China women who come to make a quick fortune by exploiting simple-minded males with more money.
China women are cheats or prostitutes. They are fiercely ambitious, seductive & prepared to use any means to get rich, including seducing men into an affair or marriage, then cheating them and moving to another man.
Professionals are going to china on business trips & they swindled by China women who are prostitutes. These prostitutes seduce the professionals into an affair so tt they can come to S'pore to get married and gain PR status to continue to swindle more S'pore men money. They broke up marriages & cheating the men that they are pregnant with their child into marrying her. Is this the so call FT???? -
