Appearance matters more than reality: as long as nonKoreanness can be hidden and offspring raised as Korean then all is okay. Koreans have been *beep* by the Japanese, Chinese, Mongolians for ages.

Doesn't this pretty much applies to the entire human race? Laughing

some "other" race has always been raped by others and vice versa.


Nope. Just Koreans.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but the ban is only temporary. And long as they have a clear criminal record and are single (both quite easy to prove) Korean men will still be able to marry Cambodian women

How does the cambodian and vietnamese govt feel about losing their women exactly.? I seem to remember Russia enacting some sort of legislation to prevent their women leaving the country en masse.

One would assume that if they didn't want to lose "their women" they'd follow Russia's lead.

But a temporary ban does not signify a permanent policy change in the offing.

only temporary well, thats what the cambodian government just told the korean government!
Koreans will still need to reside in cambodia for over a month and be more scrutanized during the interview process..
I think the days of Koreans demanding the potential wives to strip down naked so Ajossi can see the goods before he signs on the dotted line are over..

There must be a lot of love found in these situations, as well as all the bad marriages there will be many good ones.
It is good that he spend a month in Cambodia. He should develop a sense of where she is from. He should develop some ties to that country, too.
However, banning him outright would be totally incorrect, from the women's perspective also.
