Parents receive several thousand dollars and are told that their new sons-in-law are wealthy Christian converts. The grooms turn out to be neither, according to several brides, their parents, an activist, pastors and government officials, all of whom spoke to The Associated Press.
On Monday, Pakistan’s Federal Investigation Agency arrested eight Chinese nationals and four Pakistanis in raids in Punjab province in connection with trafficking, Geo TV reported. It said the raids followed an undercover operation that included attending an arranged marriage. “It’s purely supply and demand,” she said. “It used to be, ‘Is she light-skinned?’ Now it’s like, ‘Is she female?’”Saleem Iqbal, a Christian activist, said he first began to see significant numbers of marriage to Chinese men in October. Since then, an estimated 750 to 1,000 girls have been married off, he said.
Muqadas’ mother Nasreen said she was promised about $5,000, which included the cost of the wedding and her daughter’s wedding dress. “But I have not seen anything yet,” she said. Pastor Munch Morris said he knows a group of pastors in his neighborhood who work with a private Chinese marriage broker. Among them, he said, is a fellow pastor at his church who tells his flock, “God is happy because these Chinese boys convert to Christianity. They are helping the poor Christian girls.”
Pakistani and Chinese brokers work together in the trade. One prominent broker in Gujranwala is a Pakistani known only as Robinson. He refused to talk to the AP, but his wife Razia told the AP that they make arrangements through a Chinese marriage bureau in Islamabad.
La_Coqui What a clever way for the Muslim majority to get rid of undesirables.
china doesn’t deserve the Olympics - disgusting girl killing nation responsible for the deaths of millions of girls past 30 years and many more
All of the world should be alert such crimes as the gender imbalance issue get more serious in China.
As we all known that Chinese culture prefers sons to daughters and it has caused 30 million ‘missing girls’ during the past decades. For those Chinese leftover men who are from poor rural area where gender imbalance is extremely serious, they are still hope for a son.

We can thank the Chinese for this mess due to their one child policy over several decades because boys are favored while girls were aborted.
TarekFatah No,mostly Muslims
TarekFatah Economy is bad, exports are down, they need some other commodity to export. In Islam women arelike cattle
TarekFatah ZaidZamanHamid How is CPEC coming along.
That’s not equality, why China not taking the Muslim women?
China has too many women, why would they do that
TarekFatah A man who's selling donkeys to improve his country's economy can do anything. Don't be surprised if you find ImranKhanPTI involvement in this scandal. Pakistan is a SHAM!
So sad! Pakistan is the most horrible milieu on this planet to live in as a minority.
This is weird. If they are forced by their parents to marry across the border, it’s called trafficking. But if they r forced by their parents to marry Pakistani men, it’s not called trafficking?
mix species grand parent sorrow am NOT allow
Men have generally failed this planet. More than any other living creature here. We've had the power to protect this world or to desecrate it, and, so far, our general track record has been that we've shat on this whole planet. It's why humanism is ultimately an absolute joke.
Thought the parents married them off in Pakistan before. Guess the difference is before it was intra country trafficking, now it's international
ChristineCaine
Muslim concentration camps and now arranged Christian marriages aka human trafficking, yet the realDonaldTrump administration would rather go after our allies or a tiny nation like Cuba then call out China or Russia.
Really God have mercy on us
Man hunting for brides? Is there an open season for it too?
China is a prime market for 'imported brides' as they have a smaller female population than male.
Oh my god, I’m so sorry for this girls...
This is atrocious.
More reasons to love the way the Middle East cares for itself. God damn shame but as always it’s our fault
Maybe we need to eliminate men - they seem to be causing the most grief in this world.
