Korean Serial Adulterer Ordered to Pay KRW900 Million for Infidelity
By Na Jeong-ju
Staff Reporter Korea Times
A court in Seoul yesterday ordered a husband involved in frequent extra-marital affairs to pay his wife a huge sum of alimony and terminate their marriage.
Ruling in favor of the wife, who filed for divorce, the Seoul Family Court said the husbands inappropriate relationships with other women and ignorance of his responsibility to take care of his family were just reason for terminating the marriage.
``The husband had unlawful on-off relationships with several women, and even lived together with one woman, causing unbearable mental anguish to his wife, the court said. It ordered the 58-year-old husband to pay her 50 million won in compensation for the stress and give 40 percent of his property as part of the divorce settlement, bringing the total alimony to 900 million won.
Before they married, the husband was already wed to other woman, but concealed it to pursue a sexual relationship with his present wife, promising to marry her. After finding out her lover was a married man, the then fiancee demanded a break-up, but the husband divorced his previous wife to marry her in 1978.
His second wife took in a son that she didn't know the man had from his first marriage. She subsequently brought the child up as her own.
Even after their marriage, the husband had affairs with several women and left his offspring in her care. |

So she got married to a guy who was already in the middle of cheating and then breaks up with him because he is a cheater? Sound logic if you want to get involved with someone.

Sex Matters to Women Who Say It Doesn't: Study

Korean men and women have distinctly different notions of sex in a marriage, a survey suggests....
It found that a mere 4.4 percent of women thought sex was important in marriage, compared with 77 percent of men -- almost as many as the 74.8 percent of women who said it was unimportant. A substantial 20.2 percent said maybe it mattered (compared to 14 percent of men), but only 2 percent of married men said sex did not matter. When asked if prostitutes are needed to satisfy men's sexual needs, 20.4 percent of women and 61 percent of men agreed.... |

Well, can't say I am a fan of the first few articles, but thanks for the last article. Very educational. You did read it, didn't you?

Whatever the breakout, there certainly are numerous studies that show discrimination -- however unconscious -- still exists. For instance:
A recent Cornell study found that female job applicants with children would be less likely to get hired, and if they do, would be paid a lower salary than other candidates, male and female. By contrast, male applicants with children would be offered a higher salary than non-fathers and other mothers.
A recent Carnegie Mellon study found that female job applicants who tried to negotiate a higher salary were less likely to be hired by male managers, while male applicants were not.
Then there's the phenomenon of wages going down when more women move into a field.
Take human resources, now a female-dominated profession. I asked Thornton if he thinks female human-resource managers today are paid as well as he and his male colleagues were 15 years ago. "Not at all," he said. He estimates that in inflation-adjusted terms they're paid about 20 percent less.
Why? "That's the million-dollar question," he said. "There are many things at play. But we still have a long way to go to change unintentional discrimination."
A few years back, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology found that its women scientists were routinely given less pay, space, funding and rewards than their male colleagues.
"Did anyone intentionally give them smaller offices and labs? Probably not. It's just one of those things (that) accumulate and add up to barriers and institutional discrimination," Hartmann said.
Even though discrimination may not be intentional, Hartmann said, companies should be intentional about regularly reviewing their compensation structures and promotion records to correct for patterns of discrimination.
But maybe there can never be absolute parity because often there are many non-discriminatory variables that cause a differential in pay. What determines someone's pay isn't just a title and job description, but also performance, tenure and market forces -- e.g., what it takes to get a desirable job candidate to accept a position.
And then there are situations in which a company may do well by a female employee but still be vulnerable to charges of discrimination and reverse discrimination.
In an article, Warren Farrell, author of "Why Men Earn More: The Startling Truth Behind the Pay Gap -- and What Women Can Do About It," tells of a company that promoted good women employees faster than men. But consequently the women moving into the higher positions often were paid less than men in the same position because the men had greater tenure at the company.
Or, Thornton noted, a man's request for pay equity is more likely to fall on deaf ears if he finds out a newly hired female colleague is paid more. But if a woman made the same request, it's more likely to be treated seriously, due to fear of a lawsuit.
If anything is clear cut, it's that pay equity can be a complex issue. And it's one that a single, overly generalized statistic does little to elucidate.

This wife filed for divorce and went to the courts. Though, due to the fact that you and your husband are both American, the Korean courts would not take such a stand with you two. You post about other women filing for their rights, yet you yourself neglect to do the same. such a troll |

The husband doesn't care - he is rich - his property is worth 1,700,000,000won - so he loses half of it - he is still a rich and happy guy... |

Encouraging to see.
No matter the ins and outs of the case- good to know Korea is beginning to rule in favour of women, and against men behaving like confucian retards.
Who knows, they may even prosecute stalkers, batterers and rapists next. |

Not happy with destroying his previous marriage and having money thrown at her all these years, she now wants to destroy the guy financially. What a fukking gold-digging hoor.
She knew what he was like, but married him anyway. I bet she's found herself a toyboy and decided to move onto greener...ahem younger...pastures. |

Does success make women less marriageable to men? In some cases, the answer is yes: Most women like to 'marry up,' and that is harder to do if a woman is on the top floor of her profession....
The NFI study, written by University of Texas at Austin professor Norval Glenn, found that marrying between the ages of 23 and 27 might be optimal for couples. Mr. Glenn deduced this by asking married couples of various ages whether they were "very happy." Those who married between 23 and 27 were significantly more likely to answer yes. The group least likely to say their marriages were "very happy" were those who waited until age 28 or older to marry, the NFI study found.... |
