cleanup needed
[edit]This article requires cleanup - looks like something out of a government catologue or brochure. -- 李博杰 | —Talk contribs 12:40, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
Merge
[edit]What would be the difference with Marriage of convenience? Texts are already equivalent. --VanBurenen (talk) 18:38, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
Marriage has historically been viewed as a economic or political contract -- it is way off base historically to suggest that this constitutes a 'sham' because it does not conform to modern conceptions of a 'romantic' marriage! 192.246.232.143 (talk) 22:43, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
I think Marriage of convenience is ancient fake marriage but Sham marriage is modern.--Player23 (talk) 04:36, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

Globalize article
[edit]This article mixes and confuses the situations in various countries, so I added the Globalize tag because the article seems to merge or mix the law of several countries without distinguishing what is common among different countries concerned and what is specific to particular countries. Generally it seems a sham marriage is a form of fraud, primarily immigration fraud, as the intent is to gain residency or citizenship by deceiving immigration officials. However, the situation is different in different countries. In New Zealand a marriage does not automatically confer residency or citizenship and applicants need to demonstrate a genuine committed relationship exists too. This sort of thing can be difficult to demonstrate for some culturally arranged marriages, which leads to complaints that immigration officials are declining visas for, and even separating, genuinely married couples. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 08:15, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
What is an acid test of a genuine non-sham marriage in North India
[edit]Say you are a sitting judge in a case where a 'sham marriage for the purpose of financial and sexual exploitation' is alleged by the foreign wife of a North Indian man. The man has an ex-wife from whom he is 'divorced on paper'. How would you determine whether the marriage is sham or not? Any thoughts? 2402:D000:8138:198D:FFAF:8A2:9587:3332 (talk) 15:20, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
