What if Dangsuk becomes my husband and my aunt becomes my wife? That’s the title of an article that was recently published in a newspaper. I wondered what kind of dog it was talking about. It has been revealed that the Ministry of Justice is considering changing the current ban on marriage from “less than eight cousins” to “less than four cousins” under civil law. The current marriage law also says that it is possible from the ninth cousin. Let’s see if it works. It’s complicated, but let’s see how many cousins it is. They are based on me. My third cousin is my father’s brother. My fourth cousin is a child of my uncle and uncle. The fifth cousin is my father’s fourth cousin, that is, Dangsuk. Under the revised law, marriage is possible from the fifth cousin. In other words, you can also get married to Tangsuk. From the sixth cousin, there will be no worries about it. My grandchildren are four cousins, and my great-grandchildren are six cousins. Wouldn’t they faint if great-grandchildren get married? After the seventh cousin, they will not be able to get married. The eighth cousin is my great-grandchild. Under the current law, marriage is prohibited. You are my great-grandchild and great-grandchild. Are you confused and can’t you think about it? In the past, eight cousins often come and go together. They are the same as great-great-grandfathers. If they live a long time, they even have great-grandchildren. If the Constitution changes, I would have no way to stop my great-grandchildren from getting married. Before the revision of the law, marriage was impossible even if it was a homogeneous one. If we share a distant old sijo together, it would be a homogeneous one. Even though it is not a homogeneous one, if we share the same sijo together, we would not get married even if we had different surnames. In my case, the main building is Jaeryeong, but Gyeongju-i, Hapcheon-i, and a few others avoid getting married. On the surface, people don’t know about it, but if you look at the genealogy, you can easily find out. When you write down your spouse’s main building, Confucian scholars treated you as pure twin boys. Then, if you allow marriage from the fifth village according to the revised law, your sister-in-law could become your father-in-law or stepfather. They are relatives that you can’t imagine. Wouldn’t it be embarrassing if the relationship suddenly turns into a marriageable one when they meet at ancestral rites or during national holidays? The revised law says that children of my fourth cousin and I, who are old-fashioned, can get married, and children of my fourth cousin who used to follow me as brothers and sisters can get married. They can think of it as a dog and a doji. There is no animal world in the world. Lions and monkeys who live in groups also pull their babies out of the group when they become adults. This is to prevent mating between close relatives. Why. There will be no moral hazard in the animal world, and maybe it is because of the instinct that DNA contains information to protect a stronger race by instinctively preventing the emergence of recessive factors. The reason for the change of the ban from the current “less than eight cousins” to “less than four cousins” was that blood-related bonds have significantly decreased, and the ban was not directly related to the outbreak of genetic diseases and intended to take into account trends in countries around the world. It is true that bonds with blood-related relatives have fallen. However, eugenics has many problems. An example of a specific family member who continued to marry in the in-laws shows this. The king who got married to in-laws was often a royal family in Japan. The survey asked 1,500 men and women in their 20s and 60s. Dissenting opinions were overwhelming regardless of generation level. They were concerned about “destruction of family relations” (60.7%). Reasons for opposition were that her cousin’s sister-in-law from yesterday could become the mother-in-law of today, followed by a 2-year-old sister-in-law’s risk of hereditary diseases (50.4 percent). Despite medical analysis that the genetic 緣度 is only 0.78 percent related to the outbreak of hereditary diseases around the eighth cousin, the researcher failed to calm down anxiety. “Causing social chaos” (42.5 percent) was also chosen. Those in their 20s (71 percent) opposed the proposal the most. Those in their 30s (70.9 percent) were also strong. They surpassed those in their 50s (67.3 percent) and 60s (65.9 percent). “How many people would want to get married at the risk of a family conflict?” some said. “When asked if I can marry my 6th cousin, people who said they don’t care will ask me if I can have in-laws with my 4th cousin… Most of the respondents said, “Do you think it’s okay for relatives who don’t know each other well and don’t interact with each other?” 71.8 percent of the respondents said, “No.” The logic that laws must change now that the world has changed is the result of losing power. This is a summary of the article in the newspaper. Cousins can become in-laws? Chosun Ilbo Sanghyuk Jung Reporter input 2024.03.09. 03:00 The Ministry of Justice is considering changing the scope of the ban on marriage from the current “within 8 cousins” to “within 4 cousins” under civil law. The reason is that the bond between blood relatives has significantly decreased, it is not directly related to the outbreak of genetic diseases, and the intention was to consider trends in other countries around the world. The survey asked 1,500 men and women in their 20s and 60s. Dissenting opinions from generations to generations were overwhelming. Some 68 percent said they were concerned about the destruction of family relationships (60.7 percent). Their cousin could become the mother-in-law of the day, followed by the second-generation “risk” (50.4 percent). Despite medical analysis showing that the genetic 緣度 is only 0.78 percent related to the outbreak of hereditary diseases, they were not able to calm down their anxiety. Another 42.5 percent said “causing social chaos” was one of the choices made. Those in their 20s (71 percent) said that love is what the heart tells them to do. Those in their 30s (70.9 percent) were also against it more than others. They outnumbered those in their 50s (67.3 percent) and those in their 60s (65.9 percent). “How many people would want to get married while taking the risk of conflict between family members?” said an unmarried office worker. “If you ask me if you can marry your sixth cousin, even if you don’t care, if you ask me if you can have private relationships with her fourth cousin…”An online community post titled “I was told” reveals Koreans’ complicated feelings. The biggest driving force behind the revision of the law is “change of social atmosphere.” They claim that most of the relatives do not know each other, and what is wrong with married couples when they are actually men and women. However, the survey results tilt our head. When asked, “How much of your relatives do you know?” 14 percent of the respondents said, “I know up to my 8th cousin,” and 30 percent of the respondents in their 60s. Even in their 20s, 16.3 percent and 14.3 percent said they know up to their 6th and 5th cousins. Nearly half of the respondents said they know up to their 4th cousins.
