A job scam was used to trick this woman into marrying a total stranger. Sounds funny buy she signed a marriage document thinking she was role playing and proving she could work as a wedding planner.
The woman has said she was told that she had to play the role of a bride in a simulated wedding as part of her training to be a wedding planner.
During the ceremony she and the man signed a genuine marriage document.
She only realised she was actually married after returning to Hong Kong, where she sought legal help.
Local police were unable to help due to a lack of evidence that a crime had taken place, so she approached the Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions (FTU).
"It's a new form of marriage scam," Tong Kamgyiu, director of the Rights and Benefits Committee of FTU, told the BBC.
"I feel disappointed and cannot believe it's even happening in modern Hong Kong."
She remains married for now and may have to apply for a divorce. It is unclear who the man she married is, or if he entered Hong Kong after the marriage.
"The 21 year-old lady was taken advantage of while she knew nothing about the circumstances," said Mr Tong.
"Her biggest loss is to have a marriage record and it has caused her psychological damage."
Each year, Hong Kong police see an average of 1000 cross-border marriage scam cases.
Chinese residents who are married to a Hong Kong partner are able to apply to reside in the city.

Imagine yourself out on a very hot and sunny day. You are exhausted, thirsty and sweating. You decide you need to drink cold water, need air conditioner, need to pee and even sit for a while to relax while using a WiFi to surf the internet. But you are out of cash.
There is a bank close to you. What do you do? I bet some banks might start watching out customers who are inside the banking hall not for any real transactions, but to use free facilities.Â
Often times I have had to ponder the essence of literature. Not the words themselves but the genres in which they come. Their forms.
Tragedy, Comedy, Science Fiction, Satire; Are all these of benefit to the world we live in OR do they merely entertain.
And if they merely entertain what value should we place on them. Should we glorify them as we do more honourable works. Or keep them at a lower pedestal from those that hope to make a point, prove an idea.
How is glory earned?
Sadly, only a few care about writers,
Yet many lives are testimonies of their letters.
A word can be as fragile as a bubble,
Yet strong to lift one out of trouble.
Many a times I'm on doomed missions,
But words help me make right decisions.
When I can't think of what I love,
You write about what I love.
You stir up laughter and smile.
Your place is with stars in the sky.
The most valuable of all skills is that of using two or more words to end one's strife.
Words are not enough to tell how your words changed my life.
