Most women want to be provided for, but some look at money first.

 

In case of old foreign men and (younger) Thai women, 

The Latter looks  more common...

That's exactly what I felt, too.

While vice-versa  is too far too common here(and in the whole SE Asia)...

Shame it's not everyday judging by most of your posts.

Sad all the same - as that is a fortune by local standards...he could have fleeced some well-to-do western woman but instead empties out a Thai...another red mark against farangman in Thailand.

I don't think karma is a concept familiar to westerners generally. Certainly, Ian has no understanding of it because if he did he would know that bad things are going to happen to him as a result of swindling his (ex-)wife.  He should repay the money as best he can and apologize. 

That's an odd thing to assert. "Karma" is an extremely well known concept among westerners. It's extremely common for people - including by Christians or others who would normally be disinclined to embrace tenets of Hinduism/Buddhism. It's used very casually - and often incorrectly all the time.  

 

Personally, I've shifted on my view of the concept since my time as a Buddhist: the idea that people suffering a terrible life brought on themselves encourages people to blame victims and/or be less compassionate with them. And in particular, the idea that one is being punished for actions in a past life is truly obscene: a child is born with a major disability brought it on themself despite having no control over whatever they supposedly did in some past existence?

 

In any case, it's silly to act is if people always get what they deserve. It's simply not true.

Yes but unless you register it and do all the paperwork, it is not a legal marriage in the eyes of the law.  No one checks to make sure you are not married legally.  

You are correct. That does not support your assumption of a registered marriage without any ceremony. 

 

The article says a "marriage" without a ceremony. That clearly suggests they got married (which is what it means legally when you register your marriage) but didn't have a wedding. There's no mention of anything resembling a wedding and explicitly said no ceremony. This is not uncommon in Thailand (nor is the opposite, as you pointed out).
