    Mail order brides are often abused in a myriad of ways, I don’t wish to describe, both before and after they get to their destination.

      That’s certainly true, but my point is that the risks are dramatically diminished when the younger spouse is over 40.

      There’s every likelihood that being referred to, and categorised as, a “mail order bride” is more harmful to her prospects than her relationship is.
