WARSAW, Poland, Aug 7, 2006 (UPI via COMTEX) -- Poland's women are in demand by Western European farmers who cannot find wives who want to live in villages, a media report said.
Well-to-do farmers, aged 25 to 40, from Denmark, France, Germany, Netherlands and Spain, who would like to stay on their land, have a slim chance, if any, to marry girls from EU countries, the Polish Metro daily newspaper reported Monday.
Polish girls and middle-aged women alike are conservative, not demanding and embrace traditional family life, and Frenchmen, Italians and Spaniards particularly want their would-be wives to be Roman Catholic, Belgrade's Beta news agency said.
Unlike many other Europeans, Polish women do not mind being farm wives, the Metro newspaper said.
Edita Natanek, the owner of a Polish match-making agency said foreigners do not make any special demands.
"Brides can be girls, divorced or widows. It's no problem if they already have children," Natanek said.
