The answer

This is not the purpose of marriage in Islamic —to marry for the purpose of obtaining residency rights and then divorce. What is apparent is that it is impermissible. Furthermore, merely contracting marriage on paper with a Christian woman is a deception against disbelievers, and this is not permissible, as Allah عز وجل does not approve of injustice.
