Rise in sham marriages to beat UK immigration laws

[dipsydoodle]

The number of suspected sham marriages by illegal immigrants has leapt by more than half in the past year.

Figures from the Home Office show a 54% jump in suspected cases reported by registrars in England and Wales.

The leap comes after the Law Lords overturned a government scheme designed to stop illegal immigrants marrying.

Registrars have told the BBC that marriage rackets are using Eastern European brides to provide other migrants with a toehold in the UK.

It's a bit of a giveaway when someone from the Asian subcontinent who can speak neither English nor Estonian applies to marry an Estonian who speak neither English nor whatever.

And all it costs , apparently , is somewhere between £16000 and £ 20000.
