Sexual assault[edit]

It looks like the sexual assault and rape section requires some elaboration and correction. For instance it says that male rape is recognized, but it is not clear that is indicated by the article cited. A more recent news article contradicts this assertion: http://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20150427001282 It quotes an expert who says, “The current law says that penetration of the vagina by the male sex organ is the most serious form of sexual abuse.” The appears to be distinct from the legal definition of rape (and only satifies a lesser sexual assualt crime). It is not clear that the "defintion of rape" includes marital rape, either. That suggests that marital rape was recognized explicitly in the legal code. Rather the article points out that marital rape was recently recognized by a court setting a precedent. Generally the section seems to need more clarification and exactness in langauge.--Beigefolder (talk) 08:05, 29 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

First two sentences are incorrect.[edit]

Article opens with:

"Women have been marginalized throughout Korean history.[1][2] Women could not participate in the main social system and were discriminated against on the basis of: their roles in marriage, fertility, lack of rights in divorce proceedings, and set roles in society.[1] Historically, Korean society was patriarchal, especially due to Confucianism.[3] The position of a woman depended on the position of a male member of her family. Only the women of the ruling class could enjoy the same privileges of the men in the same class. Although men were allowed to have multiple wives, women were expected to have chastity and were compelled to remain unmarried if their husbands died."

"Contrary to popular belief, however, Korea was not always a patriarchy, nor was it always misogynistic. Before the Yi dynasty and the rise of Neo-Confucianism, Korea was largely a matriarchal society where inheritances were passed on from mothers to daughters and husbands moved into the homes of their wives’ families."

Historically Korea has been Matriarchal. It was only during the Choseon and Yi Dynasty that women, especially noble women, were isolated from power and made dependent on husbands and sons. See: https://www.tota.world/article/107/#:~:text=Before%20the%20arrival%20of%20Confucian%20philosophy%2C%20Korean%20women,Sondok%2C%20was%20the%20first%20independent%20queen%20of%20Korea.

"The Kingdom of Silla (57 BC – 935 AD) granted women considerable rights. 1

Females were not solely viewed as secondary citizens, and many women

made considerable political and domestic contributions. Unlike later periods, Silla women were not confined to their homes; they largely contributed to the tax and labor force, and lower and middle class women, regardless of marital status, often worked in agriculture and assisted their male relatives in learning trades. As vital members of the workforce, both men and women were expected to pay taxes until aged sixty, and males and females shared the responsibility of financially supporting their families. Lower and middle class men were subject to military conscription, and the wife would serve as head of the household in her husband’s absence, exerting considerable control over finances and the daily activities within the household.2" Maynes: Korean Perceptions of Chastity, Gender Roles, and Libido; From Ki https://scholarworks.gvsu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1004&context=gvjh — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ctustison (talk • contribs) 03:36, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Marriage of those with both the same surname and family origin[edit]

"Marriage with those with both the same surname and family origin was forbidden, and is still forbidden today." <- From the article. This is probably incorrect and was changed in the 1990s or 2000s. I am too lazy to look into it, but today, it's not an immediate "no" anymore. --Christian140 (talk) 09:48, 30 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
