What can you do about a possible bigamist???
« on: August 16, 2008, 07:05:06 AM »
Hi,

   My brother-in-law (so to speak) had a wedding party for my wife's sister in Vietnam. After the party, he went back to the USA supposedly to get the papers ready. Now he's stopped emailing or IM-ing my sister-in-law, even though he's online every night on Yahoo IM. He told her in an email he needs "time alone". For crying out loud, she's on the other side of the world, how much more alone can he get??? He apparently just traveled overseas recently, and didn't bother to tell my sis in law. He had lunch with my wife a few months ago, and she noticed he didn't have his wedding ring on. She asked him about it, and he claimed he left it by the sink at home. He travels around the world a lot, and I'm starting to think he might have "wives" all over the world.

They weren't legally married (as is the case in a "wedding party"), so she can't sue him for divorce. She gave up her virginity to him, and I kind of think he does all this just so he can have virgins. She said after the "wedding night", he didn't seem to be interested in her after that. I've heard stories of guys paying thousands of dollars in Asia to have a virgin, so it wouldn't surprise me.

My in-laws are really nice, honest people, and it makes me sick that someone would use my sister-in-law like that. This guy must know that she'll be disgraced in the community because of this.

Is there anything we can do in this situation? Is there some kind of agency we can report him to? Maybe we could report him to the government of Vietnam and they might not let him travel there anymore? My sister in law is going to lose face over this, and everyone is worried for her.

Very sad indeed.  I hope you find an avenue to retaliate but I think he wouldn't be doing this it so blatantly if it were that easy.  Just another guy trying to make the world hate America with no respect or care for the innocents he hurts.

If what you suspect is true, he's a real scumbag, but before you take revenge by reporting him to authorities, you should have some evidence of his wrongdoing, not just suspicion. Otherwise he's just another guy who got cold feet before the wedding.

I'm very sorry for your sister-in-law. This shows the other side of the perils of this long-distance cross-cultural relationship path we choose, and the necessity to spend enough time to truly get to know the other person before making the commitment.
