Beijing: Marriage bureaus in China are offering to organize Vietnamese brides for men, and if they run away, the agencies promise free replacements.
Matchmaking agencies have posted advertisements offering Vietnamese women for 200,000 yuan (US $32,000), the Shanghai Daily reported.
"We ensure you that the woman is a virgin, and if she runs away we'll give you another one for free in a year," the advertisements say, amid reports that many women who came over from Vietnam to live with their husbands have recently disappeared. Many grooms have chosen not to file Missing Persons reports because of the fear of being arrested for paying for buying brides.
Vietnamese women have become popular as brides in China because of a sex ratio imbalance. According to last year's census figures, there are 118 males for every 100 females.
