이혼한 결혼이주여성의 재영토화 과정에 관한 내러티브 생애사 연구

Abstract

According to the National Statistical Office’s 2020 Marriage and Divorce Statistics (2021.3.18), the average marriage period for multicultural divorced families in 2020 is 8.7 years. the average marriage period of Korean divorced families is 17.4 years. In addition, the divorce rate of multicultural families in 2021 is 6.2%, with 4.3% of wives being foreigners and 1.9% of husbands being foreigners. In this study, to explore the reasons for divorce of multicultural divorced families when their wives are foreigners, the factors of conflict and the process of overcoming them were examined in The Re- Territorial Process of three women who divorced after migrant marriage. The research participant A tried to connect to Korea, but was frustrated by her husband’s attitude of treating her as a ‘money- buying person’, and divorced, and worked to recognize herself. The research participant B showed active reactions such as marrying her husband who worked together at the factory despite the dissuade of her mother, but she divorced her husband who changed violently. The research participant C endured husband’s violent for the child, but rather was divorced by the husband. Marriage migration is a move to a completely different territory, so Re-Territorialization is inevitable, and awareness of this Re- Territorial Process is necessary for both Korean residents and migrant women coming to Korea.
