- Abstract
- This article analyzes returnees from marriage migration by focusing
on Vietnamese women from Cần Thơ and Hai Phòng who have been to South
Korea for marriage migration. In contrast to prevalent concerns in South Korea
about the possibility of child abduction by Vietnamese mothers/divorcees, the
author found many deserted Korean Vietnamese children and their mothers in
Vietnam through this research. There is also a growing number of Vietnamese
return marriage migrants, women who came back to South Korea after their
first divorce and return to Vietnam. The article emphasizes the complexities and
multidirectional trajectories of marriage migration and highlights the agency of
female migrants, whose contribution to family welfare and to development is
often overshadowed by their status within the family.
