An 18-year-old girl involved in a marriage scam fell in love with her victim and reported her accomplices to the police in Sichuan province's Wusheng county.

Police arrested the girl's partners - a woman 35, and a man, 50 - last week.

The three were involved in a scam that tricked men into marrying the girl and giving her money before she would escape.

Last September, the girl was introduced to a bachelor in Wannong, who agreed to marry her and gave her 3,500 yuan ($512) as a betrothal gift.

Ten days after marriage the girl disappeared, only to return and confess her love for her husband, who was only too happy to have her back.
