They're making out that she's marrying him for a permanent visa...hm. Well, I shouldn't be surprised I guess.

Thanks for sharing, KarenPang - it's always interesting to see how the media interprets the latest Ayu news.

Actually, I think they just translated a bunch of the original articles and came to this one.

関係者によれば、今年の正月休みに友人の紹介で出会い、春ごろから交際を開始したという。今月１２日、現地 での婚約手続きにより、フィアンセＶＩＳＡを与えられた。時期は未定だが、近々にも正式な婚姻届を提出する ようだ。

The originals also mention a visa of sorts.

I figured as such, but the way it's written is quite deliberate.
