A victim, surnamed Zhu, said marriage broker Wu collected his "bride's" ID card from him days before the disappearance, on the pretense of a complete set of documents securing a legal marriage, the Beijing Times reported.
"Brides" of foreign nationalities running away is not unusual according to Chinese media. A similar case occurred on Oct 12, 2013, when seven Cambodian "brides" who lived in Jinyun county, East China's Zhejiang province disappeared on the same day.
According to a regulation relating to cross-cultural marriages issued in 1994, no marriage agency is allowed to broker marriage for foreigners. Individuals are also prohibited from making a profit from foreign matchmaking or carrying out marriage fraud.
