These two cases have put marriages to foreigners in the spotlight in Viet Nam. They are both immensely tragic to say the least.

Holy crap! I hope this doesn't make a greater problem of the Vietnamese government giving us a problem in addition to the U.S. government. That is so sad for those girls (and they were just girls).

I have noticed that Americans are not mentioned in any of the articles I have read concerning fallout from these cases (not that this couldn't happen here). Most Vietnamese women that marry foreigners marry Chinese, Taiwanese or Korean men evidently. I am wondering if the mental examination that is required for marrying a foreigner (in country) has anything to do with these cases.
I'm currently trying to find out what has happened to the husbands. I am sure the punishment won't fit the crime.
