WEDDINGS IN KOREA.


4
The marriage ceremony in Korea
& conducted under conditions thxt
are practically tests of endurance.
On the day of his marriage Korean
has the right if he can afford it to
assume the costume of any official OF
the imperial court. Usually he &C.
lects that of minister of state. (
In this guise, borne by six bearers
in highly decorated chair, preced-
ed by two red parasols, the insignia
of the official he is copying, he
leaves his fathers house and pro-
ceeds to that of the bride. He finds
her ready to receive him, her face
deliberately painted, her eyelashes
gummed together, temporarily
blinded, SO that she may not see his
features until night.
When the bridegroom enters the
brides house he retires to a corner,
where he makes oath to be a good
husband. He then approaches the
bride, who, being unable to see, is
informed of his proximity by an at
tendant.
The bride and bridegroom are
now bound together with long blue
and red strings by woman, part
sorceress and part servant. Wine OF
friendship is tasted by the couple in
turn. Then follows a grotesque
scene. Its intention is to test the
earnestness of the bride.
The young man may laugh, but
this is strictly forbidden to the girl.
If she succumbs to the temptation
to laugh the marriage is then and
there annulled. The bride having
safely passed through this ordeal,
she is now tested for capacity to re-
main silent.
The young man tries every device
to make her speak. IF unsuccessful
he cries out that he will not marry Z
dumb woman. Usually the girl Is
proof against the temptation, but il
She is resentful and makes retort
that is sufficient to annul the mar
rage.
This happens when the girlHs OPP
posed to marrying the man. She
adopts that method Of escape. Gen.
orally the bride goes to live with her
husbands parents, where she be-
comes the slave of the mother-in-
law, the Korean species being con-
sidered the most terrible Of the
whole world. st. Louis Post-Dis-
