1. The Plaintiff and the Defendant legally became spouses by registering their marriage on March 31, 2025, in Deokjin-gu, Jeonju, Jeollabuk-do. There are no children between the parties.
2. The Plaintiff met the Defendant through an introduction by an acquaintance. The Plaintiff traveled to Laos on February 28, 2025, met the Defendant, and stayed until March 5, during which they discussed and agreed to marry. The Plaintiff also obtained the consent of the Defendant’s family before returning to Korea.
3. After returning to Korea, the Defendant sent notarized translations of the certificates required for marriage registration in Korea, including the certificate of single status, birth certificate, and identification documents. The Plaintiff then registered the marriage on March 31, 2025, in Deokjin-gu, Jeonju, Jeollabuk-do. After the registration, the Plaintiff prepared and sent the invitation documents necessary for the Defendant’s visit to Korea. The Defendant entered Korea on April 26, 2025, on a tourist visa, as it is difficult to obtain a marriage visa in Laos, so she came with a three-month visa.
4. The Defendant departed Korea on June 26, 2025, in accordance with her permitted stay. After her departure, the parties continued to communicate via Facebook; however, on October 17, during a conversation, the Defendant suddenly stated that she would not come to Korea. The Plaintiff tried to confirm the Defendant’s intentions, but recently has been unable to make contact. The Plaintiff has come to the conclusion that the Defendant has no intention of entering Korea and therefore finds it necessary to take this action to legally terminate the marital relationship.
