 Posted: Mon Feb 16, 2009 2:46 am Post subject: Vietnamese Mother Denied Custody of Biological Children |
 |

| Quote: |
A court rejected a Vietnamese woman's request Monday for the custody of her biological children who she had with a Korean husband.
The Seoul Family Court cited the ``children's lack of awareness'' of her as their mother as its primary reasoning. The 26-year-old married to a divorced Korean man in his 50s in August 2003 and gave birth to two daughters in the following two years.
But, immediately after the birth of the two children, they were sent to the husband's former Korean wife.
The Korean woman, now recognized by the children as their mother, has nurtured them since then.
The reason the man sent the children to live with his former wife has not yet been confirmed, with those involved in the case unavailable for comment. The court also refused to elaborate, saying, ``It was not the point of the case.''
Just days after the immigrant wife delivered the second child, the husband abruptly divorced her and began to live with his former Korean wife. The Vietnamese woman filed a suit in a bid to secure custody of the children, which is usually granted to the father for financial reasons.
The biological mother reportedly claimed during court proceedings that the Korean used her as a ``surrogate mother,'' which is strictly banned in South Korea. It remains uncertain whether or not the Korean woman is sterile.
The Vietnamese woman now lives in a rundown house in Seoul, and is said to be barely surviving by working at a sewing factory. Although failing to gain custody, the court granted her visitation rights with the children one day per week in order to guarantee her basic right as biological mother.
``During the proceedings, we gave her a chance to meet the babies. But they did not recognize her as their mother at all,'' the court spokesman said. ``Given overall conditions, we decided to give custody to their father but enabled her to meet them on a regular basis for humanitarian concerns.''
The former husband has appealed the case to overturn the court's decision to grant her the right to meet the children.
The lawyer for the migrant woman was cautious in commenting on the case for fear that media exposure may adversely affect her and further anger her former husband who may withholds the children from her.
``The court allowed the meeting, but it doesn't necessarily mean the meeting will be realized any time soon,'' the lawyer told The Korea Times. ``If the former husband refuses, it's impossible for her to meet them.''
The lawyer added another suit for alimony is underway, with its conclusion expected by the first half of the year.
The Vietnamese Embassy in Seoul said it is preparing measures to help with disputes among Korean-Vietnamese couples, but refused to elaborate. |
How could the court NOT give the woman custody? The Korean man and his ex-wife obviously used the Vietnamese woman....Stories like this make me sick |

| Typical Korean culture. Typically awful, shocking, and racist. Or, maybe I just don't understand Korean culture. Yup, that's it. |

Gold diggers sometimes fail in digging anything.
A negative example (actually there are more than A) could also be necessary. |

I don't understand. Are you blaming the Vietnamese woman for this? |

I am not blaming THIS Vietnamese woman, I am blaming whoever is in her 20s' and wants to marry a 50s to change her life.
This is a gambling house, dont step your foot into it if you are not ready for possibly losing your money there. |

You are only looking at one side of the equation. Have you done any traveling to real developing countries where the quality of life is quite low? Quite frankly, probably, many of these women are desperate or at the very least are quite naive about countries that they perceive to be Lands of Opportunity.

| Kunning Kimberley. I feel sorry for the biological mom as she probably loves and cares for the child or else she wouldnt fight for custody. |

Where is this article quoted from? I hope this gets picked up by international media. Getting the story out is a great way to initiate change.
If I did this to someone, I wouldn't be able to sleep at night knowing that they are out there with such bitterness in their veins (probably capable and willing to do anything to get their revenge). He is lucky her brothers and uncles aren't around.
I think this is one of the prime reasons mafias pop up in immigrant communities. Immigrants can't turn to the police or legal system to get justice so they ask a local gang/mafia/triad to act on their behalf. |

I am so sorry if you think I only saw one side of the question.
There are meat-headed losers in Korea who couldnt find women thus had to mail order brides.
A woman has to be at least cautious if she was UNFORTUNATELY born in a poor family n thought about marrying a man with double her age. Before fantasizing the happy marriage, shouldnt she use her toes to think it over.
Didnt anyone else here besides the Vietnamese girl notice the marriage was abnormal at all???????????????????????????????????????????????????????

I wanted to condemn the rediculous marriage BUSINESS.
I wanted to condemn all girls blinded by happy life without hard working.
IS ALL. |

| I would encourage all South East Asian women to fully understand kimberly culture, and avoid kimberly like the plague; at least she didn't have to put out at the point of a knife! |

| Unbelievable. This country better hope broadcasting its fruit cake soaps about fruit cake Gangnam dipsh*ts to Saigon hairdressers will be able to plaster over the crude racist backbone of "Korean culture". |
