    The thing is, these large sums of money are big chunks for some and would be better spent on other things instead of in some kind of "wife" tax.....basically its a regressive tax on wives with the relatively greater burden falling on the least able to pay....

    ... ... on top of the necessary plane fares to meet your prospective partner (because in nine cases out of ten, she's unlikely to be granted a visa to visit you!) wedding expenses, etc. May be a "drop in the ocean" for a celebrity with plenty of dosh ... but, for most ordinary guys, payment of extortionate visa fees amounts to a HUGE chunk of their savings.
