  • Entering the dark underworld of the sham marriage racket
    Filming undercover, and with exclusive access to a busy register office, Ranvir Singh investigates sham marriages. We will be looking at the current challenges and enforcement measures associated with sham marriages, including the impact of recent changes to the law. As well as investigating those involved in facilitating and organising sham marriages, we will discuss efforts being made by government, register offices and other organisations to combat sham marriages as part of a wide-ranging piece examining the current scale of the issue in the UK.
    The programme will feature interviews with experts and observational filming at one of the UK’s busiest register office. It will also feature covertly filmed footage of marriage fixers and others involved in facilitating sham weddings; forging fake passports; selling vulnerable women and making offering to make fraudulent applications to the Home Office.
    Our evidence shows that, despite the Government’s promised crackdown, it appears to be business as usual with the racketeers making millions at our expense.

    Pakistani's, Bangladeshi's and Indian's in the UK have been involved in sham marriages and have used 'Car Sales' as fronts for all sorts of criminal activities for the past 40-years. And during these 40-years, hardly anything has ever been done about it! The same applies to Planning Permission (for building extensions & development) whether private or commercial... they did whatever they wanted and almost always got away with it.
    BTW, the investigative team should have provided all their information to the Police BEFORE they broadcast this program, not afterwards... as 'Malik' will have moved all the poor trafficked girls to another location!!!

Even w/o sham marriages; try to file complaint w/ Health Dept because groups of illegals are being housed in sheds & garages, sans sanitary facilities; urinating & defecating visible from the street as you drive by; or selling food w/o licenses or sanitary conditions... competing w/ legitimate licensed, tax paying business & residents.

      a sham marriage must be punished with prison and bif fines.. Mostly it is only the foreign person who is using the person from the country. there must be a fine of minimum 20 000 euro or dollar and 3-4 years prison and then expelled. Because of many sham marriages the immigration service thinks that many marriages are sham marriages and that makes it difficult for the honest couples. They don't believe it. And western women better never start a relationship with an African man or a man from the Middle East, it is mostly for the papers.

    I am asked for Sham marriage or to arrange sham marriages quite often as a pastor's wife. They expect to get it for free too. They tell me it's their lawyer's suggestion to get a fake marriage to keep their visa/residency and to look for possibilities at churches or marriage bureaus. Honest I have never heard of a marriage bereau. Of course I refuse to get involved. Often young men say they are open to marrying anyone as long as they are female..doesnt matter their age or economic status as long as they are single or divorced.Its sickening. I tell them that such a process is illegal and they can be reported. They claim its totally legit and easy and their lawyer backs them up.
