KOREAN MARRIAGE j.. !. !. ].
CUSTOMS UNCHANGED

| SEOUL, Korea-The Investigation
of crime and criminals in Korea by
! Procurator Kokubu, and the tradition
of the widows abduction, led him to

by the annexation of the peninsula to

| All classes of Koreans marry very
early. Not infrequently one meets in
horea boys and girls of IA or Is al
ready married. These boy-and-girl
marriages are arranged by their par
ents, the young people having no voice
in the matter. The decision rests with
an astrologer, to whom the parents Of
a prospective couple go fer advice.
If the astroIoger decides against the
vice be favorable. presents are ex-
changed between the two families and
the coming wedding is announced to
the actual parties to the alliance.
They are, however, still not allowed
to see each other
In Korea girls are kept confined
in an inner chamber and are not
allowed to go out. They are entirely
cut off from society and consequent
ly are melancholy and unsociable The
weddin announcement is accepted
by the prospective bride as heart
breaking news. for she has to leave
her own family and join strange peo-
pie. On the wedding day she says
goodbye to her parents and goes to
the bridegroom's house, carried in
Korean chair covered with a tigers
skin. This, the Koreans believe, keeps
away the evil spirit The bride is
only allowed to- see her husband for
the first time when the wedding cere-

her head is enve1oped in a thick veil.
Mr.. Kokubu has recorded another
favcrite Korean custom-namely, the
carrying off by force of widows by
bachelors who are unable to marry
in~the regular way on account of their
poverty
Influenced by Confucianism, Korean
women in general believe that they
are morally bound not to marry a
second time On the other hand.
