New law in South Korea will allow undergrads to marry and procreate
South Korea’s Education Ministry has revised the law to allow undergraduates to marry and to have children while studying. Some institutions had expelled students in the past for marrying. Each institution has different rules and some universities do not prohibit marriage.
In 2013 two students – one female, one male – were expelled from the Korean Armed Forces Nursing Academy after it was confirmed that they were expecting a child.
Ewha Womans University, based in the capital Seoul, scrapped a ban on marriage in 2003, having prohibited it in the late 19th century.
In 1951, this policy forced Kim Young-sam, who would later become president of South Korea, to marry in secret because his bride was a student at the university.
The revised education law will also allow students to take time off to care for their newborn children.
