English term or phrase: mail-order bride
Tekst w bezpośrednim, gawędziarskim tonie. Narratorka opisuje sytuację cudzoziemek (i w tym kontekście swoją) w kraju,w którym mieszka:

"As a white western woman married to a Japanese man I am treated differently than a mail-order Filipina bride. "

Niby proste, ale... czy w polskim jest już jakiś okrzepły odpowiednik? "Narzeczona na zamówienie"?

Explanation:

Example sentence(s):
  • nternational marriage agencies are frequently referred to as mail-order bride agencies. However many consider the term mail-order bride derogatory and feel it demeans the foreign women by comparing them to commodities for sale and by falsely implying ....
