Entry Number 27

Marriage only for love ?

It is surprising how some people are afraid of getting married and how others do it as if it were something common. I wonder whether it is easy to marry someone you don't love just only because it will be the only solution to aproblem such as legalization of inmigrants. Sham marriages give people the opportunity to stay in a foreign country as if they were natives but they may also push people to jail or out the country without having the chnce to come back. I do not really know what to say about this because on the one hand I think we must respect the law, we must accept the rules and try to follow them but on the other hand, people may not have another choice than breaking the law to make their dreams come true. But it may be that making our dreams come true would be more wonderful if we do it making the right things. The fact that people can carry on with this type of marriage is a proof that nowadays marriage is not only for love but an be for many other reasons for example the 24 year old boy who married a 80 year old woman in order to get her pension after her death. Maybe when time passes more reasons to get married will come up and we will make use of them.
