1. A legal status is established as a spouse
For example, I have to do emergency surgery when I have to donate my organs because I am brain-dead (I have already applied for it), the legal guardian and decision-maker becomes the spouse of my choice. It’s a pretty big advantage for people like me who live off the books with their families. It is dizzying to think of contacting the police station to bring a legal guardian.
2. When I die, I have the right to inherit
And when I die, my spouse goes up to the first rank with the direct descendants, who are the first in inheritance, and receives a joint inheritance. In fact, it appears that marriage relationships do not have inheritance rights, but sometimes they do not. That would be pretty good if the person I choose to benefit from my death. How many years has it been since I’ve written a will and notarized for this death case? It’s an advantage that if I register my marriage, my inheritance will be automatically inherited by the person I choose.
3. Economic benefits such as special supply for newlyweds and loans for lease on a deposit basis for newlyweds
This does not apply to couples who have lived together for a long time, but it does apply to couples who have been married for seven years. In fact, each bank seems to have a slightly different standard for loan interest rate benefits. The special supply of newlyweds seems to be a benefit provided by the government to raise the birth rate. It seems that they would have a child if they had a house where they could raise a child, but just looking at the birds, it’s not everything if they make a nest. Better lending to newlyweds is probably the reason why registering a marriage would legally become an economic community, so economic credibility would increase, right?
4. Discount on health insurance premiums
This seems to vary from case to case, but if one side is unemployed and one side is working, it will qualify as a dependent, allowing free rides (?) to the spouse’s health insurance fee. I think it’s because it’s also a legal economic community.
5. Gift tax reduction or exemption
If you transfer or donate your property to someone else (the tax rate varies depending on the amount of money or the type of property donated), the gift tax is exempted up to 600 million won when you are a legal couple. For example, if a father gives 500 million won to his child when he calculates a gift tax at a home tax, he or she will have to pay 87.3 million won in gift tax, but if they are married, they don’t have to pay this. This is also because it is an economic community concept, but it can be a great advantage if you have real estate or something.
6. Easy birth registration at the birth of a child
I don’t know exactly why, but it seems that there are some restrictions on the birth registration of children unless they are a legal couple. If it is not a legal couple, the child’s mother must report the birth, and if not, the relatives living together, doctors, and midwives involved in childbirth are obligated to report in turn, but this does not apply to the child’s father. First of all, it would have been difficult to confirm paternity before scientific development. It seems to have tried to prevent a situation where anyone can insist on being a father, but it is an ambiguous system because unmarried parents raising children have difficulties in registering their birth.
7. In the case of international marriages, there is a high possibility that they will be eligible to legally stay in both countries
(In some cases, you have to meet certain conditions to prevent a trade marriage or a fake marriage for immigration) Oh, it feels like a bonus because if your opponent’s nationality is an EU member, you can freely stay in all EU members.
