What are the marriage rule in Korea?
How have they changed?
The marriage law in Korea
is similar to other country’s laws. The couple have to communize their
property, living place, etc. But they can change these depending on the
circumstance of the two people. Different with America, where the wife has to
change her first name to match her husbands’ first name At Korea wife do not
have to change her first name. Also, at the past at Korea the property was
owned by both wife and husband or totally to husband. But today, the property
of the husband and wife is each separately owned.
How is the labor divided by gender in Korea?
Korea has serious problem about the ‘double
burden’. It seems to be an international problem, but because of the religious
belief Koreans used to have about gender roles, things are more serious here in
Korea. It was believed that man must not go into the Kitchen. This had no
problem when almost no woman worked outside. But now many woman work after the
birth of the child. As a result, many woman became a “super mom” who does work
and house work at the same time.
