Wow. Does this point to who the owners actually think the demographic of this site is. You can't talk about buying a prostiute according to the rules but wife buying is acceptable?

Mail order  brides are something from 30 years ago 

Rich people may still marry poor Asian Females , but they are more likely to use modern technology these days , like computers , rather than snail mail .

   The mail order bride concept is rather dated these days

That's the way forward, treat women as objects that can be bought.

What's the next editorial, how to pay off government officials, how to get and maintain a Mia-Noi, how to steal the pennies from a blind beggars hat?

Are you suggesting women can't be bought?

While money may change hands for introductory services, mail order brides have long been illegal in the Philippines and the suggestion that a woman can be "bought" is ridiculous. Many men who have brought Filipina and Thai wives to Australia unless less than ideal circumstances have learned that lesson the hard way.

while in Cambodia there are laws preventing old foreign men marrying your Cambodian women, and laws against certain nationalities (eg Koreans) marryng Cambodian girls. 

 

and Laos has laws forbidding sexual relationships with foreigners. There are also lots of paperwork hurdles to overcome for foreigners to marry.

 

Of course the Chinese men have first choice of the white-skinned girls.....

Cambodia, Law repealed 2-3 years back.

Laos, yet Thai karaoke bars and brothels are full of Laos hookers.

Is that to protect the women from foreign men or protect the local men from competition?

Perhaps they just didn't have enough money to complete the purchase?  The very fact that there were issues once they got to the husband's country suggests he did not have enough money to maintain the relationship.  Or were they rich but argued over whose job it was to take out the trash?

Totally unacceptable, especially when you consider that all women want is a nice man that treats them right and don't care about money or status in the slightest! ????

 

(Hopefully my sarcasm wasn't too subtle there.)
