Interesting story.

"After an email exchange over a period of several months, a beautiful and intelligent young Ethiopian woman arrived at Sydney Airport on August 24, 2008, for the purpose of becoming my wife. Apparently she did not expect to be interrogated by customs and became flustered, failing to give a plausible reason for being here. She was deported."
To marry you was not a plausible reason? Where were you? Were you not there to meet her? Did you not notify anybody in advance at customs that you were expecting your bride?
Please do not attempt to fill in details of the story that I have not mentioned. This was the girl's first trip overseas. She had a valid visa and the $10,000 BTA (Basic Travel Allowance) required by Australian Immigration for a person entering Australia on a visitor's visa. So she did not expect to be questioned as to her reason for being here and, as I said, became flustered and failed to give a plausible reason.
I was not there to meet her as she did not give me her ETA or flight number. Australian Customs are so strict that they have spawned a popular TV series "Border Patrol." I am told that the customs officers can be very intimidating.
I later asked her (by email) to describe the conversation at customs. It went like this:
"What is your reason for coming to Australia?"
"To look."
"To look at what?"
"I don't know."
"Do you have a phone number so that we can check your story?"
"No, I only have an email address."
So they booted her out. I think if she had just given a straight answer she would have been all right. She should have said: I have come to spend a holiday with my friend Julian. Here is his phone number." I think that would have done the trick.

Attempting to get through with a false British passport was not smart move. Surely she was not advised to do that by a female member of the new Zealand embassy.
Once again you fill in the details without knowing the story. It is very complex and I am not about to relate it here. The British passport was authenticated as genuine by the relevant authorities in Britain. She failed to enter Australia a second time because the person who made the passport had used the same name as on the Ethiopian passport. She believes he did this deliberately because she refused to marry him.

I suspect she was looking for a way to marry a man in another country thereby effecting her liberation from her roots and becoming a citizen of your country, something that the officials perhaps frowned upon.
As I have said, she did not give any plausible answer because she was flustered. Because she is a strikingly attractive girl, my guess would be that they thought she had come here to practice prostition.

Engaging in Matrimony in order to secure citizenship is illegal, isn't it?
No it is not illegal.

Maybe New Zealand didn't want any Ethiopians infiltrating their country.
On the contrary she travelled to NZ with a New Zealand woman. There is an Ethiopian community in New Zealand. She has been in New Zealand for about 18 months or more.

But what makes you think that you, a 69 year old man who is not in good health, could ever keep up with "a beautiful and intelligent young Ethiopian woman"?
On the contrary it would have invigorated me. She was very explicit in emails as to what she wished to do in the bedroom. She was saving her virginity for me as this is a big issue in Ethiopian culture. So she had no previous experience with which to compare me.
Perhaps I should add that my libido has been so strong that it has ruled my life. I am grateful that it has subsided somewhat.

You don't have children by a prior liaison, I assume. It's kinda late to start a family at your age. At some point women's eggs go bad, such that they ought not reproduce after a certain age lest they produce children with Down's syndrome. I wonder: what does old sperm produce?
You should know that some men are capable of producing healthy children at the age of 85. I am a relative youngster.

I don't believe so. Now will you please get off my case because I have just suffered heavy abuse from the one Indian (former Hindu) member of a Christian website because I said favorable things about essential Hinduism and also referred to Kundalini.
I might as well show you the girl. You can see that, as she failed to give a sensible reason for being here, it might be guessed that she had come here for the purpose of prostitution. By the way she has a university education, speaks five languages, plays musical instruments and so forth. A very clever girl but lacking in practical common sense.
