Mail Order Brides

[Randy]

Are mail-order brides for real?

 

[Jazzy]

Yes but they are hard to stuff in the mailbox.

 

[DrLeftover]

Yes.



There are reputable marriage brokers that do it, and there are some that are little more than white slavers.



This is from the Glossary:

Mail Order Bride

Popular in the US and other Western countries since the end of World War Two, so called Marriage Brokers arrange communication and meetings between, most often, lonely working class men and desperate third world women, for a small fee paid by either or both parties. In most cases said brokers and their arrangements are legitimate. Sometimes the operation is nothing more than a front for Prostitution of Human Trafficking where the women sent to the West end up as indentured servants or worse. The new and 'improved' version is Internet Dating or Adult Ads when placed seeking 'relationships' and not just sex. See: related topics.

Seems like a mail order bride is a prostitute that only has one customer.

Yes but they are hard to stuff in the mailbox.

Normally they leave a card letting you know to go to the Post Office to pick them up.

Yes but they are hard to stuff in the mailbox.

You have to get overnight delivery, or else they'll starve or something

I could see a nice person taking advantage of this to help free a girl from this.
