there are some interesting comments
after some thoughts, i think this is what happen and it fits the
bill
1. she had some boyfriend back in her hometown
2. she was a graduate who had difficulty securing a job with
prospects back at home, so the offer of marriage overseas was a
window of opportunity. she could be ambitious, not contented to
live her life as a perpetual factory girl
3. she refused to consummate the overseas marriage because she
already had a lover (or she was merely using the local guy as a
bridging mechanism to get out of an impoverished town, or she never
intended to consummate with him, she could be on the lookout for
the next bigger boat when shes here)
4. she gotten the local guy to pay for her english lessons to
ease her entry into a new foreign economy
5. she already knew about woman charter that apply here and
planned to maximize its affect, she suggested they move out and
gotten the guy to buy a house. dont think she would fork out a cent
for it if she could gotten the same fellow to pay for $500 a month
english classes.
6. she moved out after 1 yr and immediately filed for separation
to reduce lead time. either she now joined her previous boyfriend
whom she brought over from her hometown. or she met someone new
outside.
7. either way, she got pregnant. this gets interesting..
a. if its her previous boyfriend, he might not have pr. she cant
apply for him cos she herself doesnt have citizenship. neither will
her child. theres a certain possibility both the mother and the
child risked deportation,
b. and hence separation from the real father. not only facing
family breakup, she risked shame when she returned back hometown
without a formal man and an extra child. lets not forget about her
ambitions.
c. whether they all stay together or separate, she and her
boyfriend might not have the financial means to look after the
child above and on top of themselves.
8. before her stomach popped out, she hurriedly went back to the
local guy. offer 1 time sex for citizenship. but he doesnt know its
not 1 time! she already had lots of fun, even had a child.
technically speaking sleeping with her ‘legal husband’ just one
time is not prostitution is not illegal so what guilty
conscience?..can all in one go elevate her woes of no citizenship,
risk of deportation and no cash on hand, why not.
9. she got her citizenship. means her child gets it too. means
her boyfriend gets it too. they can all stay together, they might
not need to go back now. they might even choose to stay in London
if they can afford it
10. remembering about woman charter and her supposed stake in
the matrimonial house, she turned around and went back to claim
matrimonial fees from local guy because she and her new husband
still need to feed their newborn child.
11. after pocketing the 30k baby fare by the local guy, she and
the new husband, now both citizens, apply for subsidized public
housing, wait out or rent out for 5yrs. then before the child (if
its a guy) turns 18, sell off, return back home as enriched heros
back from faraway foreign lands. no one knows their rotten
get-to-riches details..they can spin any dynamic international love
story..or student love turn fruition
12. imagine the real possibility that she and her boyfriend
planned this for the past 7 years.
13. unanswered riddles:
a. why didnt the local guy ask for a paternality test or appeal the
30k, leading to..
b. why didnt his lawyer ask for it, leading to..
c. why didnt he get a lawyer if hes aware he might get hit with 30k
judgement? leading to..
d. is the local guy really that dumb? or that kind hearted? is he
even aware of anything? leading to..
e. are local guys actually naive above everything else??
You would think that he may be dumb but when a person is in his 40s
and still single, you can imagine at what lengths of desperation he
would go to find a wife. Unfortunately in this case, he was cheated
and disgraced.
