The Sha Tin Magistracy has sent a Mainland woman to jail for 18 months over a bogus marriage.
Zhou Mengzhu, 38, pleaded guilty to three counts of making a false representation to an Immigration officer.
On December 28, 2006, Zhou presented for departure clearance at Lo Wu control point. She was suspected to have entered into a bogus marriage and was detained for further investigation.
She admitted she had agreed with a middleman to enter into a bogus marriage with a Hong Kong resident at a cost of 7,000 renminbi.
She intended to make use of the bogus marriage to acquire a 90-day visa endorsement to seek work in Hong Kong. In January, 2006, Zhang married her bogus husband in Hong Kong.
After the bogus marriage, Zhang made three visits to Hong Kong in 2006, declaring to the Immigration control officers that she came to visit her resident husband.
