i think any non european marrying a non british european will probably alert UKBA
this country must be a laughingstock to these criminals
maybe UKBA should interview them all, if us brits after to apply for and pay for a visa so should europeans, that will reduce this fraud on a massive scale

The Yorkshire Post made this their headline news today. It is understood the officers were acting on a tip-off from Leeds register office who thought the couple had hardly met before their "big day".
Recent cases have included a groom wearing a cheap suit with the price tag still attached, a bride who came down the aisle in leggings (she was cheating on her real husband, the couple's rings had been bought that morning from Argos for £32.98 and were taken to the service in a carrier bag), and a couple who needed an interpreter to exchange vows .
No-one dared suggest that a Slovak woman might not be good at housework especially using the hoover
It seems the circumstances are often farcical, which perhaps explains why reports of suspected sham marriages have risen by 66% in a year (source: Yorkshire Post), as wedding officials get wiser to the tactics illegal immigrants will use to stay in the country.
