junktex you got that right BACKMAIL
(1) .... you can negotiate the fee as with everything in china , well almost
(2) ....you can tell them to stick it and you will not pay them a penny /dime
but the thing to consider is the loss of face your future wife would have to endure
but if i am right, to run a marriage agency in china and to receive payment for it is illegal !!!!!
this is a tricky one , what price do you put on happiness and a happy future with your wife to be ?
many of the experienced members will be able to give you more advice on this situation
i am sure some of the bros have had to contend with this in their relationships
as for my situation my wife took care of any payments that were due to the agency, she never asked me for any money and i did not know the contract value she signed
but you know sometimes the agency trick the women into agreeing a contract
and tell them your rich husband from the west will take care of the payment
tell me have you discussed this with your future wife ?
as a final note if you do not cough up , it would endanger her visa application think that is bullshit
junket you mention to the agency you will get the police involved they may well run a mile (what is the name of the agency ? )
anyway you will get lots of help from the bros on this , this is just my thinking of things
