An Australian woman has discovered that her "fake" wedding was actually real. The woman said that her fiancé was an active user of social media, including Instagram, and had a large audience of followers.
It was he who convinced her to take part in the "staged" wedding ceremony, assuring her that it was necessary to create content and promote his account.
Only after some time did the woman find out that the marriage ceremony was legal. It turned out that her "husband" was trying to use this marriage to obtain a permanent residence permit in Australia. "I am outraged that I did not know about the authenticity of this marriage and that he deceived me from the very beginning," she said in an interview.
A Melbourne court has ruled that a woman was the victim of fraud and has annulled her marriage, finding that she was tricked into the situation and her rights were violated.
