Marriage fraud

Marriage fraud occurs when one or both individuals enter into a marriage with the intention of deceiving for personal gain, rather than genuine commitment. This often involves one partner seeking immigration benefits, financial support, or other advantages. In many cases, the arrangement is not legal or violates immigration laws, leading to serious consequences. Authorities may investigate such marriages, and if found fraudulent, participants could face legal penalties, including deportation or fines. It's essential to distinguish between consensual relationships and those based on deception for illegitimate benefits.
