Subject · Marriages of convenience
The marriage that isn't.
Marriages of convenience are detected through targeted enforcement and end in deportation, multi-year bans and criminal exposure — for both parties.
Direct finding
Sham-marriage enforcement uses pattern analysis (age gaps, language gaps, shared-address checks, interview discrepancies) and is well-established in both Ukrainian and EU migration practice.
Mechanics of the scam
- 01.Broker matches applicant with paid 'spouse'.
- 02.Civil marriage registered.
- 03.Residence application filed on family-reunification basis.
- 04.Targeted enforcement interviews catch contradictions.
- 05.Both parties face deportation, ban and potential prosecution.
