What is your opinion regarding mail order brides?

The reason I ask is because my ex bought one. I have a friend who thinks that this will count against him in the custody hearing more than anything else. More than his felony, more than the fact that my very bright daughter failed reading while she was in his care or any of his other bizarre issues.

She thinks that most people think it is really weird and that I have somehow normalized it because we knew such a couple. My only issue is that I don't want my daughter to think women should be bought and sold. The bride is the same age as my other daughter.

I understand now that you are looking for our opinion as well as having your own. I can say that I agree with you 100%. This is not just a question about mail order brides, but it is personal to your own family.

I would protect my daughter from this by having an age appropriate talk with her about the buying and selling of women. I would also not go too much into the (immature behavior) of your ex-husband. I would leave that part out of your talk.As she matures she will see him for what he really is and you won't have to do that for her.

It is most important that she understand how you really feel, and that you don’t condone it and that most mature loving people also do not condone it. I guess I should have asked her age in my clarifying questions. I feel that the talk needs to be centered around women’s issues and should be geared according to her age.

It is most unfortunate that this has happened to you and your family. I believe you are a good and strong mother and will present your belief in a loving way. Thanks for the opinion question.

I don't think 'bought' her. One does not "purchase" a mail-order bride, as much as they purchase an INTRODUCTION to such a woman, or they supply the $$$ for the woman to relocate to the USA, with the understanding that she will become his wife, upon arrival. If he is a non-abusive type of guy, then the woman will be better off in the USA, than the (probably) poverty-torn and oppressive nation where she was born and reared.

What it "says" about your ex, is that he is so much of a LOSER (as you are already aware, having been married to him) that he has to patronize some "foreign wiving service," in order to find a woman who has never heard of him (especially from other women! ) so that she's smart to avoid him, at all costs. I knew this very cute little South Korean gal, who was married to this retired US Army jerk.

The reason I knew her, was because she and I were having an affair behind his back (and under his nose), and he never had a clue about us, and wouldn't have cared, even if he had found out, because to him, his wife was nothing more than a live-in housekeeper to whom he didn't have to pay a salary. I found out from her, that he tried to prevent her from taking English language lessons, and from associating with other Koreans in Denver (where we were living). I would tutor her with English lessons, and one day, while I was helping her, I asked her if she had any goals or plans for her future.

Acknowledging the kind of "man" she was married to, she said, "In five years, I become US citizen. When I do that, I then drop him like bad habit! " Around five years later, I was proud to witness her being "sworn in" as one of America's newest citizens.

Shortly thereafter, she became MY wife. You are right that what he did will not bode well for him with those deciding the custody fate of your children, but that alone will not be "good enough" evidence, and hopefully, you will have much more information to present to the court, because the MORE information/evidence you show a judge, the better off your kids will be, as far as their custody and future are concerned. Also, keep in mind that SOME judges ask the child was s/he wants, and then try to place the child where they feel s/he will be the happiest.

I hope this answer is helpful to you. Sources: My own experiences and http://www.blossoms.com/ .

Wake up you are dreaming. You take a big chance marrying anyone you really don't know. Maybe it will work but it is a big chance get to know a person before you agree to spend the rest of your life with them.

It is illegal and he will be apprehended. Thank you for coming forward and letting us know about this. International transportation and the attempt of fraudulent naturalization is a federal offense.

Your ex-husband will also be charged with, and prosecuted for kidnapping and enslavement. We have all the information we need. Thank you again for being so brave and coming forward.

For your own safety and your daughter stay away from your husband for the next 48 hours.

1 Your ex sounds like a nut. Only really desperate men have to resort to the mail order bride deal. Often they are men who seek ultimate control and believe that women from other cultures will be more compliant due both to cultural differences and poor English skills.

These men are often rudely surprised. I wish his bride well. Many such women have no future in their home country and become so desperate that they will go to any lengths to find a way to survive and maybe find happiness and security.

Perhaps you can discuss this with your daughter from this point of view.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
