Say you knew someone that had to get married or they had to leave the country,would you marry them so they could stay?

No

HELL NAW

I don't think so. Would have to be a REALLY REALLY good friend.

If the money was right...sure. Oh wait you said "favor". Nah, can't help ya.

Nope

No

Sure

Naw....

Hell Naw

I thought of that to,but how much do you figure it would be worth? I don't know if I would be able to do it,money or not.

Oh hell no....you could get in serious trouble for that. No one is worth that.

yes, depending on who they are and if I trust them.

EmeraldSkies said:

Sure would.

nurseV said:

Ditto!

Only if I'm getting favors in return. Good ones.

Guess I'll be bucking the trend here. I'd do it. Not just for some random person, but if it were a friend in need I would. They're at risk of being made to leave the country, they need a beard, whatever.

Seriously, it's not as if you have to prove to officials you're actually in love, and if we had some sort of arrangement or understanding where we could see other people -just like many, many married people do already, I might point out -marrying for convenience is definitely something I would be willing to do if it were for a person I cared about.

is any good involved??? I had to put it out there...

No...because there's no guarantee they would want a divorce.

I was asked by a good friend at work to fly to Cameroon, Africa, to marry her uncle so he could come to the US. Her family offered me $10,000. I was like ..are you nuts? As much as I could have used that money, what if he didn't want a divorce? Then I'm stuck with a stranger because if I tell anyone I'm in deep shit too. So, no. Sorry. Hell, I don't even want to marry guys I do like.

I've been asked to do this a few times, I have said no every time

RenHoek said:

That would depend on who you married.

EmeraldSkies said:

Nope, but I know somebody who is 100% being taken for a ride so his wife-to-be can stay in the country. It's transparent beyond belief

purpledoveuk said:

Some will take the person for a ride because the person that is being duped is their ticket into the country. Desparate people do desparate things, especially when they have to go back to their home country and knowing they won't qualify according to the immigration point system they will be rejected. So the easiest quicky for them is to dupe some man or woman into falling in love with them etc.; and working on them to get in.

Border agents and immigration deals with those "marriages of convenience" every day. They are not dumb

i think some people who are saying no have never desperately wanted to emigrate somewhere.
