Western Marriages Gained Through Russian Brides Online Dating

By Lera Cupidonova

Women throughout the world utilize online services to become acquainted with other people from across the world. Global love matches even result from such online encounters. Russian brides online dating also helps them find love overseas. Women from Russia use the Internet to find marriage with Americans, Britons, and other Westerners.

Western husbands can offer their new wives a lifestyle that cannot be found in their current homes. Life there can be very difficult for a woman. Russian society tends to be very patriarchal and men are viewed with higher favor than women. Like men, women often work long hours outside their homes. Yet they also are expected to take care of their households with little help from their husbands. Men in Russia enjoy a more comfortable place in society than women.

Much of the time in Russia, women are unemployed. As a matter of fact, unemployment rates for women are much more substantial in comparison to unemployment rates for men. Even as women fill jobs in teaching and medicine, these careers are deemed with less respect. Even more so, these jobs suffer from great lay off rates and unemployment.

Desperate to escape such a plight, women in Russia use online romance services to look for potential husbands, especially those in Western nations. These sites, most of which insist on a woman's being at least eighteen years old, assist her in displaying her pictures and biographies in the hopes that she will capture a man's interest.

Once she has found a match, the woman then can anticipate his visiting her in her home country. The potential husband must apply for a visa, buy his airline tickets, and complete all of the necessary paperwork to be allowed into Russia as a visitor. Once the man has arrived, he and his Russian love interest get to know each other through social events sponsored by their particular Internet romance site. The potential husband may be in Russia for three or four days at one time, visiting the woman several times over the course of several months. After several visits and more time spent online getting to know each other, the couple often marries and the Russian woman moves to her husband's country to start her new life as his wife.

Beginning a life in a new country can be overwhelming, especially if the woman speaks little or no English. She may feel that she is, at least in the beginning, totally dependent on her husband for her well-being and comfort. However, as she becomes accommodated to her new country and begins to speak the language, she may begin to experience a new freedom of lifestyle that she could not experience in Russia.

Many Russian wives and their husbands go on to live happy lives. Some women, though, become victims of violence and beatings when their husbands seek to keep their wives under their control. These husbands may go so far as to remind her of her dependence on him and threaten her with deportation should she seek to escape their marriage. Recent laws seek to minimize this situation by protecting foreign-born wives from domineering husbands. Men can be severely punished if they treat their wives in such a manner.

The lifestyles of previous generations of women is avoided by Russian brides online dating. Marriage to a Westerner allows them the opportunity to experience a lifestyle not frequently found in Russian society. Their lives with their new husbands may grant them a happier future than if they had stayed in Russia.
