Sham Marriages Getting Curbed
According to the India Times, the UK has sent police officials to India to help curb Marriages of Convenience. There is a growing trend of these marriages taking place in order to gain Visa's.
The crime itself is two-fold. Many unsuspecting people are paying for these marriages and then finding after the fact that either the cost is much higher than originally agreed upon, the marriage will not take place, or that a Visa will not be made available to the bride. The scammers are bold because their victims are themselves committing crimes and they are out of the country.
Indian authorities are cooperating with British authorities in order to reduce the crime rate.
