		<description>This may sound stupid, but just want to ask the experts here since I&#039;m not so familiar with the Laws, is there any chances that you can legally marry a Korean here in Korea kahit na married ka sa Pinas but separated for long time already?</description>

		<description>Hi edzzz! Actually, hindi kailangan ng pastor o priest para magpakasal sa Korea. Kailangan ninyo lang pumirma sa papel at magpa-rehistro at kayo&#039;y kasal na. Meron naman na kinakasal kumpleto with reception pero hindi pinaparehistro ang kasal so hindi sila legal na kasal.</description>

		<description>&quot;&quot;do you have any idea as to how many percent do these women marry because of ROMANTIC LOVE?&quot;&quot;

--- Nobody likes statistics here. Trust me :)

&quot;&quot;what is ROMANTIC LOVE in this context by the way? to what extent do we consider the relationship an outcome of ROMANTIC LOVE?&quot;&quot;

---This is debatable. One way (there are other ways) probably is to assess the background of the pinay bride and the korean groom at a time prior to their union. Factors like personal wealth, level and standard of educational attainment, social, peer and family pressure, RELIGION, professional career, physical attractiveness (looks) etc have in one way or another affected their decision.

As ive said in my previous posts, cases where &quot;love&quot; as the reason for the marriage is rare. Although, love (that developed) after the marriage is common but thats a different story. Besides thats also common even in a filipino-filipina marriage. 

Maybe, if the filipina for example is a successful young professional ( doctor, celebrity, lawyer, CPA, banker, university professor, businesswoman, scientist, engineer, architect, allied medical professional, executive etc. etc. etc.) way back in the Philippines and still decided to marry an outsider (as long as the age difference is not so huge and obvious) then i can say chances are its because of (romantic)love. The reason why i pointed out those jobs is because any woman holding a profession like those mentioned above ( or close to) will most likely have a bright future ahead of them, financially stable etc. hence will feel very secure in everything. Im sure they will choose to marry their own. Or maybe im wrong.

Its a case to case basis though. 

Any korean guy who will state the same as above (posted by someone) as his reason why he chose a pinay instead of his own is a.......and for pinays who literally (in their heart) believe in that...wake up.</description>
