This article is a list consisting of some questions related to finding soul mates abroad that were sent to me by a woman from the USA. I will try to give answers and explain various things.

1. Why are women who come from Kharkov (Ukrainian city) called Russian Women!?

Kharkov is a Ukrainian city and is located in the eastern part of it, the border with Russia is only 60 km away, although the national language in the country is Ukrainian, 95% of people speak Russian in Kharkov, also approximately 35% of people are actually Russian and most people consider themselves Russian rather than Ukrainian.

2. Do you have any idea how many women are trafficked each year through mail order bride agencies?

Let me assure you that I know the statistics of human trafficking. Here I have nothing to discuss with you, it’s bad! Last year, the Ukrainian police revealed and prosecuted more than 600 human trafficking cases, almost double the number in 2005, so it seems that the police are doing a better job than before. As you may know, most of the women being “sold” go to Russia, Turkey, Poland and various other Arab countries. I guess it’s almost impossible to really “sell” someone to the US or a Western European country. The official procedures that the government of the United States demanded of the man and the woman ensure that the will is free and that there is no lack of leadership here. I share your point of view! Those who promise girls jobs and then force them to work as prostitutes are outlawed and are punished for it, but I don’t quite understand what connection there is between the officially recognized legal agency and those people who sell women.

3. Do you have any idea how many actually marry a “nice guy”, only to be beaten up, not let out of the house,

stuck in a country where they can’t speak the language?

Another very important issue that you highlight: domestic violence. Bad husbands beat their wives in the United States and in the Ukraine too! Do you know the diference? In the Ukraine, when she goes to the police with a black eye and says that her husband did that, they will most likely tell her that it is a family problem that she has to solve herself. I don’t live in the US, but I have an idea what happens in that case there! As you may know, there is a new law called IMBR Law that makes the man send all his background information to the lady before their relationship gets really serious, a man who has been on trial for any sexual offenses or other publicly dangerous crimes you can just do it. Invite a girl from Ukraine! I think beating a man’s wife in the US means she’s going to jail, who would want that?

4. I know what it’s like to sell a wife who is so attractive…there’s a lot of money in it. How noble.

I’m afraid I don’t know if you believe in G-d or not, but I hope so, anyway, let’s open the Book, if you find the chapter when our ancestor Abraham tells his slave Eliezer to go find a wife for his son Itzhak, you will understand why I am 100% sure that helping people get to know each other is a noble thing. Our work is shown in the Torah (Bible), so I guess if we do all the work the right way and are honest with our clients, we are doing something Gd likes!

I think there is nothing wrong with our business as it helps people. Yes, you also earn money. Since 1999 we have had many clients, some of them already have several children and we should ask them, is it a good idea or not to try to find a bride from Ukraine?
