HCMC police raid illegal bride parade for South Koreans

The women at Binh Tan District police office in Ho Chi Minh City Tuesday after they were found parading in front of five South Korean men
Police in Ho Chi Minh City Tuesday busted an illegal marriage brokerage that was parading 51 women in front of five potential South Korean husbands at a private house in Binh Tan District.
The women, aged 18 to 33 years, were taken to a nearby police station in Binh Tan District, with the five men, Korean broker Kil Young Hee, interpreter Vo Thi Truc Ha, and four Vietnamese brokers, including Vu Thi Bach Yen, owner of the house where the parade took place. Authorities have ordered the 51 women to return to their hometowns.

According to police, the Koreans contacted Vietnamese broker Nguyen Quang Mau in Tan Phu District earlier this month, asking for a meeting to select some Vietnamese wives.

Mau and his Vietnamese partners, Yen, Duong Quoc Thai and Tran Thanh Phong, then allegedly selected the women from middlemen in Binh Tan and Tan Phu districts, who had brought young prospective brides from poor farming families in the Mekong Delta.

Police said Phong, Yen and Thai all had previous convictions for illegal marriage brokering.

The brokers sell each woman for US$10,000 with only $500 of that going to their families while the rest gets divided up between the brokers, with Yen taking the largest share, the newswire VnExpress said Tuesday.

Brokering marriages for fees is illegal in Vietnam, where matchmaking can only be conducted by non-profit centers run by provincial women’s associations and charities.

The government in January announced a plan for the nation’s first matchmaking firm in HCMC to prevent the abuse of Vietnamese women by foreigners.

HCMC police in April caught a South Korean man and his sister trying to choose a Vietnamese wife from 23 women.

In March the police raided a similar parade but only after three Korean men had fled with three women they chose from 69.

Another case was busted in early February when 31 Vietnamese women were paraded before two Korean men.

Several studies have revealed that the number of Vietnamese women marrying foreigners, mostly from East Asian countries, has surged in the past decade.

Many of those marriages, arranged through unauthorized matchmakers, result from the women’s desire to have a better life and help their destitute families in rural areas.

Matchmaking has all the while been illegal in Vietnam. It somehow so called `legalise' recently when the provisional government takes over. Got money must be earned by government... hahaha. Once in a while, the vietnamese police need to conduct some raids of some kind to prove that they are working and enforcing the law. ;)

Re: Understanding Vietnamese Life Partner
 

ya. he hv missing.

Re: Understanding Vietnamese Life Partner
 

well said bro. :)

Re: Understanding Vietnamese Life Partner
 

Like what most brothers said, not all WL are bad. There are some good ones that are ready to settle down and have a good family. We , singapore bros, need to show maturity, endurance and responsbility when we meet with such kind of good ladies. Although there are a lot of bad apples among the viet WL, but if we open our eyes, there may be a good possibility to meet good ones. ;)

Re: Understanding Vietnamese Life Partner
 

I have met some viet WLs who are really very nice girls & some really fucked up ones who kept asking for $$. So gotta open the eyes real big.

Re: Understanding Vietnamese Life Partner
 

Just that there are so many bad press about Vn gals or WL...maybe someone should start a thread or post here saying the merits or advantages of having a Vn gf, fiancee, wife...:)

Re: Understanding Vietnamese Life Partner
 

yup, i gotta agree on it..

personally know of a gd fren's VN girl, who used to work at a ktv in SG.. once with him, she totally stopped working.. all her time is spent either with him or wait for him at home.. totally devoted to him..

they have been together for more than 2 yrs & she's mostly now in VN since he doesn't allow her to work.. no $$ given to her when she's in SG, when she comes occasionally.. but he pays for her lodging & food of cos.. minimal sum of about $400 before she goes back to VN for few months.. really low maintainence..

but having said that, she's the only 1 that i met before who's that gd.. the rest, well.. more bad apples than gd.. also wished my VN girl was like that..

Re: Understanding Vietnamese Life Partner
 

IMHO first of all u hv to change their mindset to give up on their family members back in vn..... after that the advantages will start to come.... :)

Re: Understanding Vietnamese Life Partner
 

the thing is not about giving up, but to know that their family members in VN can survive on their own by working. If your viet spouse has this mindset, you are set for a good time roi ;)

Re: Understanding Vietnamese Life Partner
 

braddah, that's intriguing. what kind of freaking family would send their sister, daughter, wife out to sell themselves and sit at home? what kind of fucking people are these? when i read this story i feel it would have been better if the US fried these "gooks" with napalm during the war.

Re: Understanding Vietnamese Life Partner
 

This is a vn culture whereby it is the daughter who brings back the dole...the parents never asked the daughters to sell themselves but due to money pressure the daughters chose the oldest trade in the world for easy money and that's where alot of bad press on them...btw, not all went into this trade except those who went to sin to work in nite life...:)
