The Nightmare.

My ex-husband's uncle saw a window of opportunity to make a business transaction.
A perfect family who were all female, living in a poverty stricken area of Vancouver and isolated from their cultural/ethnic community. He found what appeared to be a perfect victim for a marriage deal. It was like a killer choosing prostitutes because they are usually considered to be unimportant in society and are given little regard.

The tactic this uncle used started with something as simple as a wedding video.
He met my mother through a mutual acquaintance and brought a wedding video to show her. While watching the video, my sisters and I pointed at the cute boys that were dancing. The uncle took this opportunity to casually suggest that he could introduce us to one of the boys who happened to be single and looking to date. Giggling and not really thinking he was serious, I pointed to one particular boy that I thought was cute (not the boy that later became my husband).
