I am wanting to marry my brother's wife's sister (sister in law's sister - no blood relation)
Re: I am wanting to marry my brother's wife's sister (sister in law's sister - no blood relation)
A friend of mine is married to a Khmer woman. Now his brother wants to marry his brother's wife's younger sister. Nothing wrong with that, and it will provide company for the sisters together in the wasteland.

Look at the hierarchy in the top of the system and it's no different.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

I think the General nailed it on the head. Canadian immigration might think it is a fake marriage just to sponsor her over. Been witness to fake Cambodian marriages before. Get an immigration lawyer to advise how to get your application documentation to prove it is love.
As for jealous villagers. I’m blessed by NOT being able to hear all snide remarks as it’s coming out of their mouths and can just image what they are saying. I try to imagine the positive.
Good luck on both of you to happy marriages!

Yes, thank you. This is what I am mostly concerned about. It may take longer to process sponsorship papers.General Mackevili wrote: ↑Fri Apr 03, 2020 11:48 amI have a feeling that your biggest hurdle will be convincing Canadian immigration that you guys aren't just trying to get your brother's wife's sister over.satkoh2020 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 02, 2020 9:33 pm What are some challenges, if any, will I have to face when sponsoring her to Canada?
Best of luck and let us know how it all works out!

Okay, thank you for the advice. Will try to be positive throughout. Will look into an immigration lawer, thanks.newkidontheblock wrote: ↑Fri Apr 03, 2020 12:38 pm I think the General nailed it on the head.

Yes, absolutely agree! It is difficult enough to marry a foreigner (my brother and I are only partially fluent in Khmer, can listen and understand most conversations, but speaking gets a bit difficult at times),
having immediate family for my wife would make her very happy.

Apologies, left in late 1989, so it will be 31 years at the end of this year in Canada. I believe the refugee camp we stayed in Thailand closed in 1993.

I didn't think that was an option. Would I just buy her a plane ticket, and apply for a visitor visa, and then marry her here in Canada?
How would I go about sponsoring her to Canada? Does Cambodia even recognize foreign marriages abroad between Cambodian citizens and foreigners?
Thanks for the insight.

You and your brother will also share a mother-in-law so that might be a good thing - maybe.
You and your brother are also going to have to be the best of friends for the rest of your life because the sisters are likely to want to be in close proximity to each other, which mean you will be too. Neighbours?
But, if you're in love and going to marry her it's probably too late to think about unintended consequences.
Good luck.

Yes, you're absolutely right about everything. There will definitely be some hurdles and unintended consequences.Doc67 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 03, 2020 2:48 pm You and your brother will also share a mother-in-law so that might be a good thing - maybe.

Luckily for my brother and myself, we are good brothers to one another, own our own homes, and live in the same city. Thanks for the reply.
