OUTRAGE: OLD KIMCHIS KILL YOUNG VIET MAIL-ORDER BRIDES!!!!

Two more young Vietnamese, mail-order brides were murdered by their Korean husbands in South Korea over the last three weeks, according to Vietnam's English-language newspaper, Thanh Nien (the Daily Youth).

South Korea, along with Taiwan, Singapore, and China, has been importing Vietnamese brides for its loser bachelor population since the Southeast Asian country embarked on doi moi (economic reform) in 1986. Driven by extreme poverty, a number of rural Vietnamese families have effectively sold off their young daughters to old, undesirable men from these countries.  Often, these mail-order brides are subject to physical, sexual, and psychological torment at the hands of their husbands and/or in-laws. Tragically, quite a few have been murdered or driven to suicide.

NO TO "KIMCHI" IMPERIALISM

Cambodia Bans Marriage to Korean Men

The Cambodian government has decided to temporarily forbid marriages between Cambodian women and Korean men to curb the mail-order bride business. Phnom Penh says Korean men often fail to observe the month-long consideration period for which they are required to stay in Cambodia to undergo an interview and a review of documents.

A Korean government source on Friday said the Cambodian government informed the Korean Embassy in Phnom Penh of the ban in an official letter on March 5.

The measure was taken after a woman was arrested for lining up no fewer than 25 Cambodian girls as potential brides for a Korean man to choose from, according to the source.

The Korean Embassy suspended receipt of applications for consular international marriage certificates on March 8, and will also temporarily suspend a settlement support program for immigrant spouses from Cambodia on April 1.

"International marriages should occur after free dating and the couples should decide on their own which country to live in after marriage. But Koreans, who account for 60 percent of international marriages in Cambodia, mostly meet Cambodian women through matchmakers," a government official said.

The arrest of the woman prompted the Cambodian government to enforce the ban amid deteriorating sentiment about Koreans among locals, he added.
