China has followed the 'One Child Policy' for decades. The government has taken these measures to control the country's population. For this, pressure was also put on the people. In these circumstances, families who wanted boys felt that it was not important to have girls. Due to this, the sex ratio in the country was completely damaged. In the year 2000, there were 121 boys for every 100 girls. Due to this, the number of young men looking for brides from other countries in china has now increased significantly. These young men are marrying girls from pakistan and Bangladesh. This is called a 'Cross-Border Wedding'.
Recently, the Chinese Embassy in bangladesh issued a notice on sunday (May 25) evening. In this notice, it warned Chinese citizens not to trust illegal matchmaking agents to get in touch with Bangladeshi women or marry them. It advised them to think twice before getting married in Bangladesh. And are such regulations only in China? Are they not in other countries? Let's find out. A cross-border marriage is a marriage between people from two countries. Some countries have strict regulations for such marriages. These regulations may be related to the qualifications for marriage (age, mental health), or may be related to visas and residence permits for the foreign partner. No country in the world has completely banned cross-border marriages. However, in some countries, the regulations regarding cross-border marriages are very strict.

For example, the philippines has banned companies that arrange marriages with foreign boys or girls. This law is mainly intended to stop the abuse of women. However, this law makes it difficult for Filipino women to marry foreign men. Cross-border marriages for immigration purposes have a long history in the UK. That is why cross-border marriages are investigated very strictly there. In 2011, church pastors were also instructed to prevent such marriages. This has affected even those who really want to get married.

Countries such as France, Slovenia, and sweden have appointed special consular officers to investigate the legality of cross-border marriages. If there is even the slightest suspicion about those who get married in such cases, their visas are canceled. Each country has its own laws and traditions regarding cross-border marriages. These make these types of marriages more complicated. The main purpose behind these strict rules is to curb marriage fraud and human trafficking.
