Wife rental service with price of hundreds of millions is still "sold out" during wedding season

For 500,000 VND/day, the "temporary wives" have to act as good as possible like cooking, doing laundry... and even be as shy as a new bride.

To legitimize this “fake wife”, there will still be a grand wedding, with both families present and a real-life performance. However, all the characters from the bride to her parents and relatives are just paid staff... to act.

60 million VND/time to rent a wife!

Following the advertisements for this service online, posing as a man who wants to rent a wife, Dan Tri reporter went to a company that specializes in providing this strange service in Hanoi. This is actually just a wedding event organization company with a small office and a few employees.

According to the advertisement of T, who claimed to be the director of the company, hiring a wife would require going through many complicated procedures. Depending on each customer's situation, a separate script would be written.

Accordingly, there will also be engagement and wedding ceremonies with real-life receptions. To perform their roles well, customers must memorize the script, the most important of which is remembering the names and jobs of the bride's family members... The wedding will be grand in scale, with both families' in-laws present, and the performance will be as real as possible. Everyone, from the bride to her parents and friends, are paid stuntmen.

The time to rent a wife can be from just a few days to a month depending on the needs and individual circumstances of the customer. And of course, the price for each time renting a wife like this is not cheap. On average, customers have to spend from 30 to 60 million/time. The rental time is also proportional to the cost. On average, this center charges 500,000 VND/day for a bride. "It also depends on the case, the rental price also depends on the beauty requirements and cultural level of the bride. The more demanding the customer is, the more expensive the rental price will be," T said.

According to T, this unusual wife-rental service is becoming a trend that many single men are looking for. At this time, this company has to cleverly arrange its schedule to meet the needs of its customers.

According to the advertisements, this unique service is actually a “double search”, helping single men or men with “gender problems” who do not want to get married to resolve the pressure of marriage from their families. It is called renting a wife, but the customer’s contract also clearly stipulates prohibited acts such as: arbitrarily violating the body, mind, holding hands, hugging, kissing or having sex with… “wife”.

Always "burn" fake bride!

At another bride rental center on Truong Chinh Street (Hanoi), when hearing a reporter describe the "difficult" situation of wanting to marry a "fake wife" so that the family could give him money to pay off his debts, the man in charge of the center proposed a plan to find a "bride" to act as a substitute in one day to save money. "First, there will be an engagement ceremony with all the relatives of the bride's family. You will have a meeting to get acquainted with the family of the girl you intend to hire so that both of you can know each other well. This meeting will not include your parents.

We will take care of the entire family, relatives as if it were real, even the bride's children and colleagues. Even when the groom's family comes to propose, we will organize a reception, chat and set the wedding date just like real. After completing the welcoming procedures, we will terminate the contract. Of course, if you want to hire a bride to visit your family during the holidays, we will still agree. The rental price is calculated by the day, during Tet there is a different price," this person said.

To avoid suspicion from the groom's family, this man also did not forget to remind the reporter: "It's best to ask the parents in advance what kind of bride they want, from the city or the countryside. You have to be very tactful about this so that you can "please them". You should discuss it with the groom's father because many patriarchal people are very picky, you have to take into account his age to avoid suspicion from his parents...".

After a while of learning about the reporter's situation and job, this man also gave the reporter a draft scenario of renting a wife as follows: "You should give the case, you have known your wife for a long time to avoid suspicion when you have to get married quickly. From now until Tet, you only have time to have an engagement.

The bride will take real wedding photos with you. Based on our experience, to avoid waste and save money, you should only take a few wall photos and some casual outdoor photos to avoid any problems if your parents are suspicious. The bride lives far away but works in Hanoi, so the organization will be held in Hanoi."

Seeing that the reporter was still hesitant, this man immediately made an advertisement and commitment, the company had successfully organized many cases of hiring fake wives on the wedding day. Many customers even came back to thank the service for helping them resolve awkward situations in life. To give evidence, this person said: "There was a man from Nam Dinh who had a gender problem, had lived with his "lover" for nearly 3 years but was always hindered, threatened and forced to get married by his family. After many unsuccessful attempts to convince his parents, this man came to the company to organize a fake wedding to please his family...".

This person also asserted that for many years he had organized “fake weddings” for many men to rent wives, but no unfortunate incidents had occurred. In fact, this seemingly strange and perverse wife-rental service was always in a state of “fake bride shortage”, especially during the wedding season.

End the contract with a real "divorce"

Continuing to find another wife-rental address on Hoang Minh Giam Street (Hanoi), the group of reporters also received enthusiastic advice from an employee about the wedding script to perform their roles. This person committed that all the company's "brides" are office workers, intellectuals, lawyers... with beautiful appearances, carefully selected. However, the price also depends on the qualifications and hometown of the fake bride. If the customer wants to rent a wife in Hanoi, the price can go up to hundreds of millions of dong.

This man also said that the wife-rental service mainly serves customers who do not want to get married but are always pressured by their families. To advertise the "magnificence" of the company, this man showed the reporter a list of "wife-rental" branch companies with a team of collaborators and employees spread across the country. Accordingly, all services from the wedding gifts, the bride and groom's clothes and the car to pick up and drop off relatives from both sides will be taken care of by the company. In addition, the company will also assign an "uncle" to represent the bride's family, speaking at the wedding ceremony "just like real".

The price this man offered was 60 - 120 million VND/time of renting a wife, which included all expenses from the engagement to the wedding. To make the story end perfectly, this man also reassured the reporter that the divorce procedure to convince the family the most would be handled by the company's staff.

Seeing that the reporter was still wondering about the price, this man immediately switched to a more economical option. Accordingly, the wedding ceremony would be held "fake" with a customer who wanted to "rent a husband" to legitimize the child in her womb. With this option, the "bride's family" would cover all expenses for the reporter: "This girl is from Binh Phuoc, her family is rich and very prestigious, but unfortunately she got pregnant with a guy named Khanh. Her family asked our company to organize a fake wedding. If you agree to be the groom, it will not only solve your problem, but who knows, this bride will also help you pay off your debt?"

To convince the reporter to agree, this person also presented a contract for “renting a wife” with strict terms that included ensuring confidentiality for the customer. However, citing the need to think more, the reporter asked permission to postpone the service for further consideration.

Although it has only been around in Vietnam for a few years, the “wife-rental” service seems to be a lucrative business for these event organizing companies. However, behind these contract transactions, there are certainly many variations and consequences whose victims are none other than the fake brides and fake grooms who want to rent wives.
