Marriage and Settlement of Female Indonesian Muslim Immigrants in Korean Society

The increasing pace of globalization has significantly affected our lives in many profound ways. One of the consequences of globalization is the rise of intermarriage, i.e., the marriage between couples of different nationalities or different social, economic, religious, or racial backgrounds. It is often assumed that intermarriage for ethnic minorities is the ultimate litmus test of integration. But intermarriage is sometimes regarded as the final stage of assimilation among immigrant racial and ethnic minorities. This study examines Indonesian muslim women-Korean men intermarriage mainly through Semi-structured interviews, a kind of qualitative research interview methods. The researcher organized a set of predetermined open-ended questions before going into the field. He interviewed in depth 8 Indonesian muslim women who married with Korean men. It focuses on marital assimilation as an important aspect of immigrant adaptation and acculturation. Assimilation refers to the myriad social processes that bring ethnic minorities into the mainstream of economic, political, and family life of Korean Society. The Indonesian muslim women's acculturation types were described to be mostly integration and assimilation. Those who adopt freely both types depending on the situation appeared higher adjustment in the society than others.
