PR WEB -- Mar 10 -- Have lawmakers fully read IMBRA? Are they aware of its implication, prejudice and its lack of common sense to protect immigrant women from abuse? Visit http://www.online-dating-rights.com. US District Judge Clarence Cooper out of the Northern District of Georgia Atlanta Division issued the TRO on March 7, 2006, barring the government from enforcing the International Marriage Broker Act of 2005 against European Connections & Tours Inc. A Preliminary Injunction Hearing in this matter is now scheduled for March 20, 2006. (European Connections & Tours, Inc. vs. Gonzalez, et al., No. 1:06-cv-00426-CC, U.S.D.C., N.D. Ga.). Citizens Against Dating Discrimination (CADD) stance is that IMBRA fails to protect immigrant women from abuse and also violates American men's privacy rights in the process. This law requires international dating webmasters to be policemen and collect background information on male members. The law requires this background information to be forwarded to any lady a male wants to meet at the introduction stage without regard to his privacy. CADD maintains that it is not fair for giant sites like Match.com to be exempt from doing background checks. You can read IMBRA 2005 here: http://www.online-dating-rights.com/pdf/IMBRA2005.pdf.
