The business of marriage
WOULD you enter into a business marriage arrangement so you could live overseas and have a better chance at life?
Kenroy:
Yes, I would. Don’t you see how living in Jamaica is hard? Everyone is looking for a better life. Nobody wants to spend their life working a nine-to-five and still be getting their light and water disconnected. It spells no sense.
Gabby:
I would. I have known a few people who have, and they have somehow managed to survive and have done well for themselves.
Owen:
People tend to think the grass is always greener on the other side, and truth is, it isn’t always what it appears to be. I would want a better life for my kids and myself but I wouldn’t go through the means of marriage to get it.
Julissa:
I did it and the guy kept asking for more money and when we were to get our divorce he put me through hell. But it’s over and done with. I later remarried for love and I won’t say foreign is a bed of roses, but it’s better than living back home. When I started working here I had a morning, evening, and a weekend job. It was rough, but I had a plan. I went to school, it took some time, but I now have a career and a good job. I couldn’t have accomplished all I have now if I was in Jamaica.
Nigel:
A business marriage is a game of chance because some of these women will mess you up. I got my wife pregnant and she wanted us to play happy family and I wasn’t having it because she knew I only married her to get my papers. I regretted crossing the line and sleeping with her, but I got a beautiful baby girl, and my papers.
