A sham double wedding collapsed when one of the bogus brides was unable to identify the man she was due to marry.
The registrar had become suspicious when he was asked to marry two Lithuanian women to two Indian men.
His initial fears were confirmed when the couples turned up at the register office and were unable to communicate with their betrothed.
Blushing brides: Lithuanian Oskana Alexsandraviciute, left, and Sandra Beleckaite, right, were both arrested at the register office when they didn’t recognise their grooms or speak the same language as their betrothed
Immigration officers were called and the whole wedding party was arrested, together with the organiser who had set them up.
Yesterday a court was told that Indian-born Manpreet Singh, 27, and Jasbir Singh, 21, had arranged to marry Lithuanian girls Oskana Alexsandraviciute, 27, and Sandra Beleckaite, 21 at Wrexham register office.
By marrying two European residents, the Indian men would have been allowed to remain in the UK.
But superintendent registrar Ruth Cooke soon realised something was wrong.
As the couples waited for the ceremony, it became clear that neither bride nor groom spoke the same language and could not understand each other.
Tipped off by the register office, immigration officials swooped and asked one of the Lithuanian ‘brides’ to point out her husband-to-be.
When she identified the wrong man, the whole group was arrested on the spot.
Mold Crown Court was told that, in an interview, the two Lithuanian women said they had been in long-standing sexual relationships with the Indian men.
But when questioned later, the men told immigration officers they were chaste and had only kissed their wives-to-be on the cheek.
Wyn Lloyd Jones, prosecuting, said it was clear that neither bride could understand their grooms when they arrived at the register office. ‘The grooms had little or no contact with their prospective brides,’ he said.
Judge Nicolas Parry said it was a serious conspiracy aimed at cheating the immigration laws to ensure two men not entitled to remain in the UK could do so.
‘Those who enter into sham marriages to frustrate the country’s immigration controls must expect sentences that deter others,’ he said.
Manpreet Singh and Jasbir Singh were jailed for 12 months and 11 months respectively while their two ‘brides’, Alexsandraviciute and Beleckaite, all from Wolverhampton, were jailed for 304 days each – meaning they walked free due to time spent on remand.
Organiser Jaspal Sahota, 51, a respected community elder, was jailed for two years and two months while Lithuanian helpers Andres Stepanov, 28, and Antannas Beleckas, 27, received 16 months and 15 months respectively.
Paul Abraham, defending Sahota, denied his client had received up to £7,000 for organising the scam and said he had been used by others.
Dave Offside, from the UK Border Agency said: ‘The two grooms in this case saw sham marriage as a potential shortcut to a life in the UK, but they have ended up behind bars.
‘The brides were prepared to marry people they barely know in exchange for cash and the others involved also stood to gain financially.’
The Indian men will be deported when they have served their sentences.

Utterly sick of reading about this kind of crime. Deport the lot, unless they were actually born here in which case they must attend classes for several years to learn how to be an honest British citizen.

To cut down on these wedding scams, would it be a good idea that, one party must be British and not a european, It seems that its european immagrants are usually involved
Report abuse
No, they won’t be deported, as by that time they will have ‘earned right to family life’, or some other nonsense. And what about the two fat ladies (I use the term ‘ladies’ loosely)? Here for ever, enthusiastically breeding at our expense. We’re the laughing stock of the world.

Even that great country of Australia is not as dumb as the UK. If they catch an illegal immigrant on entry, they ban them for at least three years. What do we do? Offer them accommodation at taxpayers’ expense for many years, and fund all their legal challenges. No wonder they all want to come to the UK.

When you see and hear our politicians,are n’t you ashamed?We,the stupid taxpayers keep voting for our political dross that are the three main parties.Time I think that we elected a real man. Only U.K.I.P. will address the problem of watching this country bleed to death through the wounds inflicted upon it by the E.U. and Labour and this quisling coalition.A coalition of the hapless.

And yet if you call to report a robbery the cops may turn up within 48 hours.

Ready… “it is against my human rights to be denied the ability to marry someone I have never met with the sole purpose of obtaining the right to stay in the UK and claim benefits”.

TIP,,,,,OF,,,,,THE……ICEBERG.
For each story we read thousands if not tens of thousands of these sham marriages happen each year.
This registry showed due diligence and called the police but what about the many out there that just take the money and don’t ask questions.
