My husband came to Vietnam with his mother to have matchmaking meetings. His mother chose me as her daughter-in-law. My husband did not talk much, so I thought that he must be a quiet person. However, after coming into Korea , I noticed that his behavior is a little bit strange. Sometimes he acted like a child. If I do not give response to him when he call me, he used to start to cry on the street. When he gets angry, he throw away things around him as if children usually do. Every night, it was so scary to stay with him. I was often frightened of being killed by him. So, I talked to mother-in-law that I wanted to go back home. She took me to the Korean broker. She thought that I had been already aware of his condition and nonetheless, I'd accepted it. She was also angry, saying that it is nonsense to go back to Vietnam because she paid more money to the brokers than other grooms do in order to bring her. However, I absolutely had no idea about it. If I was knowing the fact that he was mentally disabled, I wouldn't have got married to him.

Mother-in-law and sister-in-law, they are very kind to me. They thoughtfully took care of me and treated me with good manners. However, my husband was totally opposite. He started to beat me 3 days after I entered to Korea . Heavily drunken, he asked me to have sex, but I refused it, so I was beaten. He stroke me with his fist, grabbed and pulled my hair, and spit at me. One day, I refused to have sex because of my period, but he started to hit me again. He used to throw my sanitary towels to my head. I had to unwillingly accept his demand for sex because he kept beating me. I am happy to live with my parents-in-law, but living with my husband, it is scary.
