Groom school

Last year 10 per cent of marriages in South Korea were to a foreign spouse. But so many of the country’s cross‑border romances are ending in divorce that the government is stepping in to offer classes on marriage ethics for men who want to marry a foreign woman. From now on South Korean men who want to marry a woman from another country will have to attend courses at the ministry of justice’s immigration offices before their brides – often from China or Southeast Asia – will be granted visas. Would-be grooms will learn that it is wrong to think they are buying a wife, or to conceal past marriages or personal problems such as alcoholism.
