Here, the wife also gets on rent … If she is left, you can also get married

Rent Wife: Thailand has always been known for its beauty and tourism. But a peculiar practice going on here has come into the discussion again. It has recently been mentioned in a book. The name of this practice is ‘Wife of the rental’. The hearing may look shocking, but this trend is very old in many cities of Thailand, especially Pattaya.

The ‘rented wife’ means that a woman will be like a wife with a man for a certain period in exchange for money. She will cook, go for a walk, create a family -like atmosphere, but all this will be under a contract. Legally, it is considered a temporary relationship, not a marriage.

How did a book reveal the truth of this practice?

The book ‘Thai Tabu – The Rise of Wife Rental in Modern Society’ has exposed this mystery. Author Lavart A. Emmanuel says that women of poor families do this work under compulsion. Most women are associated with bar and nightclubs from where they get foreign tourist customers.

How is the price of the rented wife determined?

The fare depends on many things – age, beauty, education and relationship for how long it has to be performed. Some women are available for a few days, and for a few months. According to reports, it can be priced from $ 1600 (about Rs 1.3 lakh) to $ 116000 (about 96 lakh rupees). The runaway life and loneliness have pushed people towards temporary relationships. Thai society is considered extremely committed to relationships and freedom. This is the reason why practices like ‘rented wife’ are spreading here without any special opposition.

Where did this idea come from and what does the government say?

The idea has come from Japan and Korea, where services like ‘Girlfriend on rent are already underway. It has now become a part of Thailand’s tourism. However, the government believes that this trend is spreading rapidly and there is a need to make laws for the safety of women. The trend of ‘rental wife’ in Thailand has now become a big business, not just a game of relationship. Due to this, many women are becoming financially independent, but this practice is also raising deep questions on society and morality.
