Fake wedding boom in Vietnam

Kampala, Uganda | THE INDEPENDENT | Vietnamese women looking to avoid the social stigma of having a child out of wedlock are increasingly turning to grooms-for-hire businesses that specialize in throwing fake weddings complete with fake grooms and guests for a hefty fee.

The AFP in February featured a company called Vinamost, which has around 400 wedding impostors available, and offers various packages ranging between $1,500 and $4,500.

With over 300,000 abortions recorded every year, Vietnam’s abortion rate ranks fifth globally and first in Asia.
