ABSTRACT

A significant number of North Koreans has been migrating to South Korea in recent years. Especially, North Korean migrant women outnumber North Korean migrant men by three to one. More attention has to be paid to the adjustments of the North Korean migrant women in South Korea. While North Korean migrant women were wondering around many countries, they experienced sexual harrassment, human trafficking, prostitution, and outof- wedlock births. When they came to South Korea, they were exposed to new social circumstances without any treatment for their trauma. They are suffering from apprehension, depression, and identity crisis. In order to obtain emotional and financial security quickly, North Korean migrant women choose to marry South Korean. However, North Korean migrant women cannot lead sound family lives because of their trauma and social maladjustment. This study focuses on the social maladjustment of North Korean migrant women and their family problems and proposes some solutions for the sound lives of North Korean migrant women. In addition, this paper examines the biblical marriage and the biblical relationship between a husband and a wife in the light of Christian counselling.
