How much money would it take for you to marry a total stranger?

Question

I have a friend who is from a country near Russia. He wants me to marry a friend of his so she can receive her green card. After 2 years of marriage we can divorce and she will be a US citizen.

Answer 1

I wouldn't do that for any amount of money cause it would mess up my life marrying someone I don't love even for two years, and would mess up my good repuation.

I would suggest you not marry her unless she MUST and only MUST have one.  Always think of the concequences before you act, think of what you will and will not regret and balance it with what good of what  you will do if you do marry her and whatever ever weighs the most on the balance scale is your answer.  In other words make a chart of regrets and good deeds you will do if you marry her, the one with the longer list wins unless one idea on one of the charts is very powerful.

I know I make it sound complicated but it's pretty simple. Only you know the answer, but you can still think about suggestions from others!  

Answer 2

just a few dollars less then 200

for the license and to hire a Justice of the peace

Answer 3

Answer 4

Answer 5

don't do it. unless you really like her or even know her. she could put you through h**l and try to make babies with you.

Answer 6

Answer 7

Sounds so simple right? Sounds too good to be true right? It is. When you marry a person, you marry their family and their culture and if u know nothing of that culture then rethink that stupid proposition. Marriage is not a joke.

Answer 8

umm not a good idea

Answer 9

how much money does they pay you... lol?? .

I know some ppls pay about $6000 or $7000.. LOL.

Answer 10

Depends you have to live together for 2 years so think of it that way how much is She going to cost to keep. If your planning on useing  Her for other things you hava to account for that to.

Answer 11

What he is asking you to do is illegal. You could get into a barrel of trouble if you marry this girl for that purpose.

I would say that this would be risky business.  When you got your divorce, you would lose half of anything you gained during your marriage and, with a sympathetic judge, you could get stuck with alimony to help her get on her feet and become self-supporting.

Living two years with someone you don't love would be a difficult thing to do. The cultures are different, the values are different, the whole thing could blow up in your face.  Money isn't important enough to marry for this illegal reason.

Answer 12

couple hundred grand, also some sack time if she is good looking...

Answer 13

I would do it for $200,000, no less.

Answer 14

dont do it.you can get into a lot of truble and the money isnt worth it.

Answer 15

You must be a great friend or a little too nice to even consider this kind of monumental life changing decision for a friend.  What would your family think or what if you meet someone you sincerely want to marry in the meantime.  I would say don't do it, but it sounds as though you would so good luck either way.  Maybe you've seen a pic of her and find her attractive, but what if she is not compatible with you?

Answer 16

honestly it depends on what he looked like. If he was hot and we had chemistry i'd marry him  as long as he supported me and during the 2 years and i got the house and the car in  the end... i would be o-k.. so if any hot guys need a green card email me!!! ;)   but it's gonna be different for the guy.. you cant expect the girl to support you...
