Is it normal to think all foreign women that marry american men want money?

My friend met a woman in Peru. She tried everything she could to get him to marry her including witholding sex until the wedding, despite the fact she had consistant sexual relationships with other men. She has 4 kids with another man, and was on the hunt for a wealthy American.

She was afraid her Peruvian boyfriend would get in the way, and loaded a gun when he was out of his mind drunk. He was upset she was going to move to America with this strange American she didn't even know.. She handed him the gun and told him "you don't have the guts to shoot yourself". Well he did, and he died.

She was taken into custody, but she never told anyone she loaded the gun and gaoded her peruvian boyfriend. (until recently), so she got off.

She and my friend only knew each other 1 month before they were married.

They moved back to America after they were married. She took all of my friends money, and gave him nothing in return. She made fun of him constantly, and yelled at him everyday in fits of anger when she didn't get what she wanted.

She brought her mother and sisters up from peru and demanded my friend take care of her mother while she went out and partied with her friends. She demanded he pay for an expensive hip surgery for her mother. She found lonely men with money for her sisters. (They married then divorced after they had their greencards).

He finally left her but she refused to give him a divorce. My friend also found out that she had never divorced her first husband, but she still refuses to work with my friend when he is trying to end things amicably.

Is this normal?

    • Maybe not 100% but not below 90%. But the American men are deperate enough to marry them without really knowing them as people, or what the women's intentions are.

    If you are so stupid that you marry someone after a month ...you have it coming.

    Sounds like the Peruvian boyfriend who shot himself was the lucky one.

    Yeah but is it a reason enough to think that all foreign women who marry Americans want money?

    • This was just one example. I have others. Maybe not all, but most!

    Or, it could be for the promise of a visa.

    And sometimes, it truly is for love.

    Grouping all foreign women into this goldigging group is a far stretch and unfair. What about foreign men who get with American women? Do they want all of their money too?

    What about the ones from richer countries? Would you think the American men are marrying them for money? If not, why doesn't the same principle apply?

    • This rarely happens, and when it does, it is more of a mutual stronger love.

    Yea I think they are after the money 75% of the time! it's just common in other countries for the parents to take more interest in wealthy american men to wed their daughters in arranged marriages. It happens in India for example.
