A marriage drive is under way along Australia's New South Wales industrial south coast, where Italian immigrants are taking their marriage vows by proxy to brides 10,000 miles
away.
About ten marriages are recorded each week and at least 2,000 other young Italians are waiting for mail-order marriages to be arranged, in some cases to girls whom they have never seen.
