He finishes up by saying - "She doesn't ask me for anything, but I have given her a few pounds for her Gran."

So when you look at this again -

He has never set eyes on her.
He is over twice her age.
He has had eight marriages already.
She wants to come to this country for work.
She has accepted money for ' her ageing Gran.'
It doesn't bother her she is bride no. 9.

So I've got to ask . . . what do you think their chances are of a long and happy marriage?

I don’t understand how she can come to the UK at all.
I thought that spousal wheeze had gone.

Correct My son is having to jump through legal hoops to get his wife over here. It will take at least 6 months at least as he has been in Brazil for the last 10 years.
that 6 months he has to have been in work and earning about £20,000 a year. That is just the start. not only that but capital behind him and somewhere to live.

It seems to take two, of the opposite sex, to be totally bonkers, several times over.

Re: Don't like to be pessimistic but . . .

These arrangements seem to be business deals of sort and I guess that is what a marriage used to be before Jane Austen gave everyone too many romantic ideas.

A neighbour did this, only his wife was Thai. He spent a couple of years wrangling with the home office. Then sold his house and moved to Thailand. He was incredibly annoyed that she couldn't stay here legally despite the marriage. I am not sure he was that happy. She was much younger too. I remember seeing them arguing in the street.

I also worked with someone in his thirites who had a mail order bride from an African country. He wasn't much of a looker, so I guess it was a good way for him to pair up. I'm not sure how it worked out. He was spending months trying to sort out her journey to Britain and he was really excited about it.

I also had a cooker installed by yet another guy who had married a much younger African bride but he was planning to move over there eventually and set up a charity. He was very religious and he didn't see a future in this country. Said it was too materialistic here and people were much nicer in Africa.

Yes, Ben.
I'm afraid I wouldn't have much sympathy for him if/when he gets ripped off.
