How Deep Is the Trap of Cross-Border 'Buying a Wife'?

赵强 and 黄刚 discuss the marriage scams and risks behind the Chinese embassy's warning.

黄刚, have you seen the news lately? The Chinese Embassy in Bangladesh issued an urgent alert, saying that 'buying a foreign wife' is a trap.

黄刚
kàn dào看到leqí shí其实zǎo jiù早就yǒuzhè zhǒng这种piàn jú骗局duǎn shì pín短视频dōushuōkuà guó跨国qǔ xí fù娶媳妇hěnjiǎn dān简单jié guǒ结果hǎo duō好多rénchéngleshòu hài zhě受害者

I saw it. Actually, these scams have been around for a while. Short videos all say that marrying a foreign wife is easy, but so many people end up as victims.

赵强
zhè xiē这些zhōng jiè中介gēn běn根本bù hé fǎ不合法yǒu rén有人bèipiànqiányǒu rén有人shèn zhì甚至bèikòulehù zhào护照zuìyán zhòng严重deháihuìbèidàng chéng当成rén kǒu fàn mài人口贩卖miàn lín面临láo yù牢狱shèn zhì甚至sǐ xíng死刑

These agencies aren’t even legal. Some people get scammed out of their money, some even have their passports taken away, and the worst cases are treated as human trafficking—facing prison or even the death penalty.

黄刚
ér qiě而且mèng jiā lā孟加拉nà biān那边duìzhè zhǒng这种shìcháhěnyánjiù suàn就算zhǐ shì只是xiāng qīn相亲kě néng可能bèirèn wéi认为cān yù参与fàn zuì犯罪sī fǎ司法liú chéng流程tuōhěnjiǔjiā lǐ家里réngēn zhe跟着shòu kǔ受苦

And in Bangladesh, authorities investigate these cases very strictly. Even if you’re just there for a matchmaking event, you might be mistaken for a criminal. Legal procedures can drag on for a long time, and families suffer too.

赵强

Some people think they’re clever, but end up falling into a trap. Most of the 'happy stories' online are just made up.

黄刚

Actually, real happy endings are rare. Most people lose both money and reputation. The scariest part is that some people are too afraid to report to the police after being scammed.

赵强
duìguó jiā国家xiàn zài现在míng què明确tài dù态度zhī chí支持fēi fǎ非法zhōng jiè中介bú shì不是xià hǔ吓唬rénmèng jiā lā孟加拉defǎ lǜ法律zhēnbú shì不是nàozhewándeyí dàn一旦bèizhuāxiǎnghuí guó回国dōunán

Exactly, now the government has made its stance clear: it does not support illegal agencies, and this is not just a warning. Bangladesh’s laws are really strict—once you’re caught, it’s hard to even return home.

黄刚

So when you see these so-called 'shortcuts,' you have to stay calm. Don’t gamble with your own happiness and safety.
