South Korean writer Eun Seo-ran legally adopts her best friend when she falls ill as her own family is not actively involved in her life.
South Korean writer Eun Seo-ran, speaking during an interview with AFP at a public library in Jeonju.
Eun said that when she ended up in hospital, she realised she needed someone who could be there for her, and not just to support her emotionally. Single-person households now account for 41% of all households, official figures show – with that set to grow in coming decades. Even as there are fewer and fewer weddings – just 3.7 per 1,000 people last year, a record low – people still need connection, and they need them to be legally valid, says lawmaker Yong Hye-in.
But it has met fierce opposition from the country’s conservative and Christian bloc, who argue that if passed, it would effectively legalise same-sex marriages.
