PROVERB

EVEN AFTER DEATH, A WOMAN STILL LIVES IN HER HUSBAND'S
HOUSE.
IT IS INTERESTING THAT A KOREAN COUPLE LIVE THE
FIRST FIVE DAYS AFTER THEIR MARRIAGE IN THE BRIDE'S
HOUSE, AND THE REST OF THEIR LIFE IN THE HUSBAND'S
HOUSE.

Submitter comment: THE ABOVE PROVERB IS STRESSING THE PERMANENCE OF THE
MARRIAGE BOND, AND COMMENTING ON THE SHAMEFULLNESS
FOR A WOMAN TO EVER RETURN TO HER PARENTS' HOUSE.
