Marriage of Convenience in Immigration Case Attracts Attention
A Sydney case reveals a showgirl named Lois says she married Yui Bun for £300 to aid his Australian stay. The marriage, arranged via a Chinese contact in King's Cross, was to be seven days after meeting. Lois, in debt, says she never received the money. Yui Bun, a 42 year old cook, says the union was a marriage of convenience but genuine, though he was fined £40 for misleading an immigration officer.
