Poor Swedish men, who will be fooled with fake love...
Why always men are blamed in Sweden?
Haven't you seen many Thai, Polish and Ukrainian women who are now divorced from her Swede.
Probably they got what they wanted ( a visa).
Should we only blame the men always in Sweden? or those abusers who use these poor men
for their wealth or source of getting her visa or passport?
Anyway,
In SFi classes teachers always teaches the new comers women to report their husband to us in a case they abuse you. So law protects them and many husband are now in jail for abuse and none of these abusers who used their men and sent them in jail.
I have also seen many imported wife/husband who are happily married for over 10 years ands till counting on....
Swedish women are always under all circumstances considered innocent victims in the officially endorsed ideology around things like these. You will therefore never see any reports on that from swedish state research.
By the way. Something not mentioned in the article is that the definition of a swede used in the article is anyone with a permanent residence permit. The vast majority of cases brought upp in "Kvinnor och barn i rättens gränsland" is actually cases involving this wider definition of a swede. The largest contribution of cases are Iraq, Iran and Africa, countries that very few ethnically swedish get their partner from. It's usually someone that get married to an ex asylum seeker and later on is abused alternatively want to have an excuse for a divorce.
