In the last decade, in Vietnam, there have been some research studies on marriages with foreigners, yet they mainly focused
on Vietnam women getting married to Taiwanese men. There have been few research studies on Vietnam women marrying
Korean men. Therefore, it is hoped that this research study will contribute to research on marriages with foreigners. In
particular, its approach is from the multi-culture in marriage and international migration, and cultural factors that promote and
hinder the process of Vietnam – Korean marriages.This research study was conducted in August 2009, and afterward we
came back to conduct in-depth interviews with some Vietnamese women who get married to Korean men in September 2010.
Besides using the method of literature review, this study combines both qualitative and quantitative methods. Through this
research, the paper would like to find the societal impact of international marriages, in particular Vietnamese – Korean
mariages to Vietnam.
