Does Korea need a bride price to get married?

You don't need to give the bride price to the woman when you get married in Korea, but the woman needs to give the bride price to the man. Yes, it's the opposite of our country. On the one hand, Koreans have a serious concept of gender, prefer boys to girls, and are afraid that their daughters will not get married in the future, so they always give money to the man and then pass it on to the present. On the other hand, Koreans believe that after marriage, the woman will depend on the man all her life, and the man will be luckier in the future, so they will give him bride price money as a subsidy.

South Korea's marriage age regulations

The age of marriage in Korea is 18 years old. However, 18 years old is not his adult age, so according to the relevant laws of Korea, the marriage age agreed by parents is 18 years old. That is, 19 years old, parents must agree when applying for marriage. The woman can't apply for remarriage within 6 months after divorce, but she can make an exception if she has a doctor's pregnancy diagnosis certificate.

Korean marriage customs

1. A wreath will be sent at the wedding in Korea. China's wreaths can only be used with white things, but Korean wreaths are different. In Korea, such a wreath is called a "wreath". When getting married, Bai Baihe is usually used for opening ceremonies, performances and other celebrations, which is closer to western culture.

2. Before the traditional wedding in Korea, the families of both men and women should know each other's family status, knowledge and personality through matchmakers. If you have a good impression on each other, you must first meet your parents, so sometimes the two sides have never met at all. After both parties agree to get married, the man usually gives the "wedding invitation" to the woman first. If the woman has the idea of getting married, give the Marriage Certificate to the man, and then the marriage will be established. This is very similar to the ancient marriage in China.
