Ask A North Korean Can foreigners marry North Koreans?Mixed children born out of wedlock may be more common than actual mixed marriages in the North
Every week we ask a North Korean your questions, giving you the chance to learn more about the country we know so little about. This week Rob from New York asks: As a follow-up to “How North Koreans view mixed marriages,” is it possible for a foreigner to marry a North Korean girl? I’m not too sure about whether the possibility exists legally for a foreign expat – a temporary resident in the DPRK – to marry a North Korean inside the DPRK. But it is possible for Hwagyo (descendents of Chinese immigrants) to marry North Koreans. Most © Korea Risk Group. All rights reserved. |
