on this, as in several other things, DPRK is lagging behind south, but not as far behind as you might hope.

South Korea didn't abolish male sole legal representation of families until it became a democracy in the 90's.

Despite NK rhetoric, divorce isn't so much "anti-socialist" as "anti-tradition" and many in south korea want to roll-back feminist wins. It was a big factor in the election of #Yoon which the US state-department enthusiastically supported.

More fascinating details for anyone genuinely interested in the plight of women on the peninsula:

"women in bad marriages usually put up with them rather than endure the hardships caused by a divorce. They usually risked losing their children, and were ostracized and had trouble getting a job. Things began to change in the 1970s" - accelerated in 2000s after IMF crisis.
