According to the investigation, the 43-year-old resident of Kyiv region was using social media to look for men who wanted to avoid mobilization and go abroad. To do this, she offered assistance in obtaining a disability group or marriage to a bride with a disability.
In order to find "clients", the woman created a Facebook page and published an advertisement for her services. She promised a man who was interested in the scheme to get an MSEC certificate with a disability group in exchange for USD 18,500, which the man agreed to.
However, when she received the money, the woman said that it was a rather lengthy procedure to get a disability certificate, so she had to be safe and suggested that she enter into a fictitious marriage with a woman with a disability.
To marry a 40-year-old resident of Kyiv region, he has to pay another $3,800 and give his "wife" 10,000 hryvnias a month.
After the marriage was concluded using the Marriage in a Day service, the "bride" and the organizer of the scheme were detained.
