What is an International Marriage?
Definition of International Marriage
- An international marriage generally refers to "a marriage between a man and a woman of different nationalities." In order for an international marriage to be legally valid, it shall meet both the contextual requirements such as marriageable age, prohibition of consanguineous marriage, prohibition of bigamy, and the procedural requirements such as a marriage report.
Civil Marriage
- As the Republic of Korea acknowledges civil marriages, the rights and obligations in civil marriages are partially recognized for a foreigner who has been the common-law-spouse of a national of the Republic of Korea.
