Marriage bureaus in China are promising a Vietnamese virgin woman free to Chinese men if the wives they bought from the neighbouring country go missing.
Matchmaking agencies' posted new advertisements on telegraph poles stating that people can marry women from Vietnam in three months if they pay $ 32,000,the Shanghai Daily reported.
"We ensure you that the woman is a virgin, and if sheruns away we will give you another one for free in a year," the advertisement said amid reports that a number Vietnamese woman married to Chinese men went missing.
As a result, Chinese men married to Vietnamese women are experiencing big losses , losing both wife and money , the daily reported.
Shanghai entry-exit authorities said yesterday thatseveral cases have been reported this year in which Shanghai husbands, who paid for finding a wife from Southeast Asia, lost their wives soon after getting married, as the women fled and were never to be seen again.
On August 20 the daily reported that dozens of Vietnamese women who were "bought" by Chinese men for marriage went missing from a Chinese village raising suspicion that they might have been sold again.
Very few villagers reported the missing to police for fear of their purchases of brides would be exposed, the reportsaid. More and more Chinese men have resorted to marrying Vietnamese women due to a sex ratio imbalance in the country.
According to last year's census figures, the sex ratio had increased with 118 males for every 100 females.
The communist mindset is quite something.
On other planets, they burn it.
Isn’t central planning wonderful? ;-)
How’s that one child policy working out?
The women from our poor neighbor to the south would just show up with her brothers, kick the guys behind and rob him blind. This scam would not work with Mexicans.
I just know that I am going to get into trouble with my wife if she ever reads this article...

Cheers!
look at those eyes — spooky. Whatever made John Mason want to marry that? She looks like her iq is about the same level as a jellyfish :-P
That ad screams “refurbished.”
The ‘one child policy’ is having a devastating effect on the demographics in China.
Why? Because the Chinese, like many other cultures, have a cultural bias in favor of male heirs. As a result, when a mandatory govenrment policy for one child exists and is enforced, female children are often aborted in the hope that the next child will be male.
Imagine a country where millions of men cannot marry because they can’t find a mate. If I were a country on their border, I’d be worried that their large land army might simply decide to invade to secure women.
Sounds like the Chinese haven’t progressed far from “hobbling” their women to keep them from running away.
I have a number of Chinese friends and it is not so much due to a lack of Chinese women as to the Chinese women knowing better than to marry a certain common type of Chinese male. Does not make much money, poor manners, unfaithful, spends most evenings away from home.
