Basically these international marriage brokers are using socially awkward people from the lower economic class in Korea to make money by setting up marriages that have no chance of succeeding. Additionally many of these women appear to be using many of the same tricks that juicy girls in the ville use to fleece money out of soldiers:
Members of an online website helping the victim of international marriage scams hold a rally calling for legal measures in Seoul in September 2013. Yonhap
Ahn argued that the government fails to protect its own citizens from illegal brokers, who he claimed deliberately approached those who are socially marginalized.
“The government should illegalize all private international marriage agencies,” he said.
South Korea in 2010 introduced a new law on international marriage agencies with a strengthened screening process. All brokers are now required to translate their clients’ certified documents of legal marital status, health conditions and criminal records and provide them to their potential spouses.
The number of such couples has dropped since then, from 35,098 in 2010 to 24,387 in 2014 — the lowest since 2003. The proportion of Korean men who were at least 10 years senior to their foreign wives has also dropped. In 2014 they made up 37.5 percent of the total, down from 44.8 percent in 2012.
Still, Korean men who married foreign brides through brokers took up 25 percent of all international marriages as of 2012, according to the latest Gender Equality Ministry data. Notably, 75.7 percent of those who married Cambodian women, and 65.8 percent of Korean husbands who married Vietnamese wives, and 40 percent of those who married women from Uzbekistan met their wives through matchmaking agencies. Over 85 percent of marriage migrants here are women, as of 2014.
Statistics also show that international marriages ended more in divorce here. Korean couples on average stayed together for 14.3 years in 2014, compared to an average of 6.4 years among international couples. Half of the divorced Korean husbands said their foreign wives ran away from home, thereby ending the marriage, according to a 2012 government report. [Korea Herald]
There is a little coven of Filipina harpies around here who have run away from their husbands and are making it however they can… from teaching English in the brokest of broke-diick hogwons to being kept by some nasty middle-aged, middle-class officeworker who fancies himself a player… but it beats returning to the PI.
Another class in this group are the ones who are still married but leave their husband and children behind and go out every weekend in nice clothes with their husband’s credit card to get falling-down drunk, screw foreign guys, and cry about their miserable empty lives.
Its all very sad and there is no solution… except to have seen all this misery coming and not to have gotten involved with it in the first place.
On the bright side, there is an endless line of volunteers when I offer a hundred bucks for two hours of being a naked sushi girl at my parties.
