Fake marriages in Poland Posted by on Aug 20, 2012 in Culture, Regulations

Did you know that at least 1/4 of all the marriages in Poland to foreigners are fake? This is an estimate by a Polish newspaper. People from Africa and the Middle East always ask how they can find a girl to marry. I love Africa and the Middle East, however, these guys are dishonest. Some claim it is for love and others are more honest and say it is for money. Others ask how they can get a Polish girl to fall in love with them so they can get a citizenship for Europe. I can understand that they do not like the economic situation they live in. I really do, but what they want is illegal and immoral and they are very insincere. Europe will be flooded with people from around the world because they know the law and there is an easy way to get into Europe. That is marry a European.

People from around the world seek out Polish girls to marry so they can get an EU citizenship. The price on the market for a false wedding in Poland to a foreigner is about 5 to 10 thousand Euro. That is a foreigner guy pays a Polish girl. 

When there is one of these arrangements, a wedding for EU citizenship, the funny thing is the guys more times than not, just take off. They never give the Polish girl the civil divorce they promised (they are all civil marriages) and they disappear. The Polish girl can now never get married again. Why? Because she is still legally married in Poland. And once you are married you are married all over the world. So this fake (for money or they get tricked into believing it is love) marriage to a foreigner ruins their lives.

Crazy…

My name is Kasia Scontsas. I grew near Lublin, Poland and moved to Warsaw to study International Business. I have passion for languages: any languages! Currently I live in New Hampshire. I enjoy skiing, kayaking, biking and paddle boarding. My husband speaks a little Polish, but our daughters are fluent in it! I wanted to make sure that they can communicate with their Polish relatives in our native language. Teaching them Polish since they were born was the best thing I could have given them! I have been writing about learning Polish language and culture for Transparent Language’s Polish Blog since 2010.
