Police busted an illegal matchmaking ring in Ho Chi Minh City following a sudden raid on a house in Tan Binh district Monday.
They found 7-8 Korean men selecting brides from out of 118 girls, mostly from the Mekong Delta countryside.
They arrested Sen Cam Diu, 44, and his wife, 37-year-old Huynh Thi Thu Thuy.
The house, owned by 36-year-old Van Chi Khenh, is regularly leased to matchmakers for Korean men. At least 20 matchmakers are thought to be invloved.
Thuy told the police she had been working as a matchmaker for more than four years and successfully arranged marriages for more than 40 young women.
For every wedding she is paid VND3 million (US$187).
Last year she was fined VND15 million after being caught illegally arranging marriages for 16 Vietnamese girls.
A HCMC policeman told Thanh Nien Monday that the 118 girls were sent home.
Diu and Thuy would be charged, he said, adding the search would continue for the remaining matchmakers.
