South Korean Confucians protest in Seoul, South Korea - 14 Mar 2024

South Korean Confucians chant slogans and hold placards reading "an act that destroys the concept of family" during the protest at Sungkyunkwan. South Korea's Sungkyunkwan Confucian Association strongly protested against the Ministry of Justice's relaxation on the scope of incestuous marriage, calling it 'an act that destroys the concept of family'. The protest comes in response to the potential revision of the Civil Act Articles 809 and 815, which nullifies any marriages between blood relatives within eight degrees of relations ("chon" in Korean). Moving up or down the family line adds one degree of relation while moving sideways counts as two degrees of relation, which means a relative that is eight degrees apart would conventionally mean a third cousin -- someone who shares the same great-great-grandparent.
