i would have expected the practice to have died out by now and mostly it has. the reason its probably continuing is because the 'mangies' lads from abroad look more westernised due to influence of sattelite tv so some girls do get married to them. also some people end up improving their lot by marrying someone who normally wouldnt look twice at them ie the russian bride syndrome. ive seen a lot of asian men who have married lovely well educated girls from pakistan and they do look awful togeather. the worst was when a really unattractive young man (5ft 2) who was rejected as a suitor by his cousin ( also from accy) ended up marrying a beautiful tall girl from pakistan she looked like a film star. she was forced to marry him and when she came to the uk she couldnt handle being with him and his family and was returned to Pakistan. awfully she ended up having the horrid lads baby it was such a shame. i cant believe immigration didnt question if this was a forced marriage or not.
