Wanderer, sorry if I gave the impression that he only knew his Thai bride for only a day or two. That was not the case, the couple had known each other for some time, and no agency was involved in their meeting.
But yes, I did see that programme. I think part of the problem stems from the fact that if the couple agree on the divorce, they both go along to the Amphur (Register Office) and register their divorce, in much the same way as they registered their marriage. Yes there is a Court procedure but that only applies where one of the two does not agree to the divorce.
I think I was looking for a replacement gf, I might make my choice based on food this time, Russian not good unless you like cabbage......
I hope you jest! But thanks for the warning about the cabbages! In fact, if ... heaven forbid .... my marriage did end ..... knowing what I do now about visas ... no way would the person be from outside the EEA! But I do like Hungarian Goulash! Very tasty!
