I try not to be judgmental of other people's decisions, but this just creeps me out.

We had a surprise party for my MIL's 50th birthday last night. In attendance were several of my FIL's friends- men in their mid/late 50's- and their new wives- women from the Philippines who are younger than I am.
I feel like I don't really have a right to judge people for the reasons they choose to marry. In truth, marriage is very much a logistical/contractual issue for some people. Still, I could not help but be a bit repulsed seeing these men with their hands on these less-than-thrilled looking young women.

The men just want wives and can't attract local women (for good reasons,) so they basically buy wives- women so desperate to escape their situations in their home countries that they'll marry men here, regardless of what they're like.

I hate it. I feel like it's exploitation of these women and their circumstances.
I found myself imagining how these women tolerate having to go home and sleep with men they have no attraction to.

It's their decision though; I'm torn between feeling repulsed and judgmental about it, and knowing that I don't really have any business commenting on someone else's choices; especially those of people whose former circumstances I have no real understanding of. It's really the men that disgust me, but should they?
