According to Professor Chyong-fang Ko from the Taiwanese Central Research Institute, Vietnamese brides account for 35% of 338,000 foreign brides in Taiwan, or around 118,300 women, mainly from the south of Vietnam. Women like Huynh Mai are the victims of a practice that is fast becoming more popular. According to the Korean Statistics Office, the total number of Vietnamese brides married to Korean men nearly doubled to 10,131 in 2006 from 5,822 in 2005. In an interview with The Yale Globalist, social worker Bui Van Anh from the province of Ben Tre said, "In some villages here, almost everyone has family members or knows someone who is married to foreign men."

The whole idea of mail order brides has become something of a joke, conjuring up images of sad, lonely men and their money-grabbing trophy wives. But who are the women behind the glossy photographs? How prepared are they for life in the West? Like many Thai brides, 'Nook' came to England expecting to find her Prince Charming. Instead, she found herself married to a violent sex-addict. "The first time he hit me, I was so shocked. I couldn't believe that he could do this to me". Her vulnerable immigration status means that she cannot go to the authorities and there is little possibility of her situation improving. 'Nook's' story is not unique. In this investigation, we examine the realities of the mail-order bride business. Filming in the UK and the slums of Bangkok, we hear the stories of the women trafficked and investigate the legal loopholes that are often used by mail-order husbands to dispose of their brides or subjugate them forever.

Western men can pay $2500 to find apparently traditional women.

After the Fall of South Vietnam, the communists rule over Vietnam with their iron hands, and made the country to be poorer and poorer. Moreover, they depend too much on Chinese, so they conceeded to China our archipelagos with oil-mines under the sea. They sold workers to other countries to make profits on their labors. Lots of women and children have been sent to other Asia country to be wives, servitors, or ... prostitutes!
