Much more problematic, I know a couple of a Moroccan and a French. They married two years ago, now have a kid, but things aren't going along so well anymore between them. Getting a divorce is impossible, though ; the woman would have to leave France, and parents living in two different countries can be a bit harsh for raising a kid. (Not mentioning the legal difficulties that would come from determining who is legal guardian). At least there isn't one beating on the other - there have been cases where a battered wife leaving her husband was then deported...
I read many mixed couples from Copenhagen were now living in Sweden, because it was the only way they could live together - what kind of pragmatic solution produces those absurdities ? Un roi sans divertissement est un homme plein de misères

This has caused considerable consternation among certain unsavoury Danish politicians, because you're right, we do have rather a lot of couples living in Malmö (although not all of them for that reason - the undervalued SKK makes having an income in DKK and expenses in SKK a financially attractive proposition in its own right. Plus, houses are cheaper in Sweden because they haven't had a neolib government to Ponzify them for quite as long).
