Fraudulent marriages

Fraudulent marriages occur when individuals enter into a marriage with deceptive motives, rather than for love or companionship. Common reasons include securing immigration benefits, gaining financial or legal advantages, or avoiding legal repercussions. In these cases, one or both partners may intentionally misrepresent their intentions or circumstances. Such marriages are considered illegal in many jurisdictions, as they undermine the sanctity of the institution and can lead to various legal consequences, including annulment and potential criminal charges. Authorities often monitor suspicious marriages to prevent abuse of laws related to citizenship and immigration.
