3. Korea's women changed mindset

 

 

 In the last post, I talked that most of the international marriages that of rural men. Because, Korea Women's mindset was changing. Although in the past women receive lower treatment than men, different nowadays. Women were able to freely express is the status and role and rights of women only. As women have a strong position, female way of thinking it has also changed. Women were no longer being tied to patriarchy too. Women have also become increasingly believe that marriage is essential for change.

  Changes in these women is even greater effect in men. Imbalance in the sex ratio, women who need a marriage party with fewer men will not find a woman to marry. After all, men are unable to find a woman to marry Korea, to marry women other countries. Still many men in rural areas are unable to marry with Korea Women, select the international marriage.
