A flash wedding is when a bride asks for a divorce due to her husband's weaknesses or shortcomings after a short marriage.
In this process, the bride value is not returned or property division is required.
According to Hong Kong media South China Morning Post, police in Huagouyuan, Guiyang City, Guizhou Province, China, have received 180 reports of matchmaking fraud since March last year.
According to the investigation, marriage matchmakers who participated in the crime actively sold to single men after renting luxury office space. It also recruited mostly divorced and indebted women to offer 'flash marriage'.
Many male customers who paid fees to companies agreed to marry just days after meeting women arranged by the agency.
The men also handed over hundreds of thousands of yuan for the bride.
However, women filed for divorce on the grounds of men's domestic violence and weaknesses.
In addition to not returning the bride's price, he also demanded compensation for some of his property.
Female A was found to have made 300,000 yuan (about 58 million won) in three months by repeating this process several times.
Mr. A reported his marriage to his client in December last year, but soon after, he filed for divorce, claiming domestic violence. She did not return 170,000 yuan (about 32.7 million won) for the bride to the man, and even took some shared property, including a car that the man bought for her.
Even after the divorce, the woman continued to go on blind dates, and the agency hid the divorce.
A male victim reported his marriage to a woman he met through an introduction in May in two days.
He handed over 118,000 yuan (about 22.7 million won) for the bride.
Two months after marriage, my wife asked me to buy her a house and a car, and she often fought with her husband even in small things.
However, it turned out that the wife is already a divorcee with five children. When the man found out, he went to a matchmaker to get a refund on the commission, but the company had already closed and disappeared.
The police are reportedly planning to prosecute the companies and women for fraud and expand their investigation.
