I'm surprised that this is legal - it seems like North Korea would prohibit people from defecting. I guess marriage is perhaps the only workaround.

@misspell: They've already defected. There is no workaround. This is just matching up NK women are who are in SK already.

@vanka-vstanka: Ah. Then I guess my next question is - how did they leave? Especially if they have North Korean husbands, it seems like it would be awfully difficult.

one guy promised a woman marriage, slept with her, then demanded a refund.

Sigh. Change "marriage" to "a soda & a hot snack" and you've got the story of my dating life after moving to NYC.

My husband comes from "enemy" country. Our two countries fought against each other in a useless war, 25 years ago. As cheesy as what I'm about to say sounds: I feel that our marriage is a little (miniscule) piece of large puzzle to join these two countries again.

Maybe this woman is onto something, I hope she is.

@Ailatan: Not cheesy at all. Totally true and kinda wonderful.

@Ailatan: The triumph of love and hope is never cheesy in real life, only in badly written novels and movies.

Your summary was really nice (*sniffles, resumes faux posture of misanthropy*).

@Ailatan: I felt the same way when I (a Virginian and southerner) got enagaged to a man from Massachusetts - a yankee). Your story is much sweeter, though;)

Patti Stanger would support this, I'm sure North Korean women have suitably straight, long hair that men can run their fingers through.
