Well, as one of the few here on FR, who has actually lived in an African village, without running water, and with electric power that kept going off at least 5 times a day, and in addition to that, having personally known some Africans, who came back to Africa with white Russian wives back in the days of the Soviet Union, when a lot of Russian girls would sometimes marry an African student, just so they could get out of Russia, I'd say they'd be lucky if their marriage lasted more than three years. This is even worse because they are not going to live in the cities, but instead out in the village with no modern amenities.
I have seen too many naive, deluded young white women, with romantic notions of African adventure and what not, get married to Africans aand mover over, without really knowing what it entails, only for the marriage to break down when faced with the harsh realities of life there later.
But hey, whatever happens she'd have had an exciting adventure I suppose, and gotten this bug out of her system. After all, with the very high divorce rate in the UK, she couldn't do that much worse as far as her chances of divorce are concerned I would imagine.

Man. That is pretty tough, to marry into a situation like that because you see it as your only way out.

Thanks for your insight.

...But hey, whatever happens she'd have had an exciting adventure I suppose, and gotten this bug out of her system...

I edited your comment a bit and this part reflects my true thoughts on the matter exactly.
