Three cases with signs of illegal actions related to marriages without the intention of creating a family were detected on the border with Poland.
In one case, a 28-year-old resident of Rivne region married his 40-year-old mother-in-law, a person with a group I disability.
According to the “newlyweds”, they were going to Warsaw to treat their “wife’s” eyesight. The couple pretended to be actors to the very end and claimed that they had married in July out of great love. Later, the man admitted that his new wife was his mother-in-law. And the marriage was concluded for the purpose of leaving Ukraine.
As the border guards found out, on 7 September, the man’s real wife travelled abroad by rail. On the same day, the man and his mother-in-law tried to leave through a car checkpoint in Volyn.
When their plans were exposed there, on 8 September, the couple moved to the Rava-Ruska checkpoint.
The other two cases were recorded at the Krakivets checkpoint.
Both “spouses” were travelling allegedly for the treatment of their wives. A 41-year-old native of Ivano-Frankivsk region married a 46-year-old woman with a group II disability in late August. In another case, an 18-year-old man from Volyn married a 19-year-old girl with a group II disability since childhood. The couple got married on 30 August.
As a result, in all cases, operatives of the 7th Border Guard Detachment of the Carpathian Mountains sent reports to the National Police about the detection of signs of a criminal offence under Article 332 of the Criminal Code “Illegal transportation of persons across the state border of Ukraine”.
