Husband Admits He Intentionally Impregnated Teen Wife After 11 Days Of Dating, Sparks Fury
A Korean man’s confession of how he married and impregnated a teenager has sparked major reactions in the country.
The story involves a 34-year-old man and his 26-year-old wife, who appeared as the first couple on episode 16 of JTBC’s marriage reality show, Divorce Camp, which aired on October 16, KST. The couple, who have been married for seven years, have four children. During the episode, they revealed that their married life began when the wife was just 19.
The wife confessed that she had been the one to take the initiative in the relationship, but was turned down at first because she was a minor. “I confessed to him first. He didn’t accept initially, probably because of the age difference. But a week later, we started dating,” she revealed. MC Seo Jang Hoon responded with shock, stating, “If he didn’t accept because you were a minor, he should have kept refusing. What does it mean that he changed his mind after a week?”
The husband then claimed that their first child was conceived just 11 days after they began dating and that the pregnancy was planned. “We didn’t want to lose each other, so we planned it,” he stated. The wife agreed, revealing that they had a “mutual agreement” to have the baby because she was convinced he was the one for him.
Despite having four children together, the couple admitted that they were now dealing with serious marital issues. The wife stated that she was being physically assaulted by her husband around 4-5 times a month. The episode actually showed video footage where the husband was acting violently and using abusive language toward his wife, who suffers from epilepsy.
Despite her condition, the wife was seen taking care of the home and children all day. She made some horrifying revelations, detailing the abuse, which left the studio in shock.
He hits me and even strangles me sometimes. Recently, he even picked up a knife. One week after I was discharged from the hospital after giving birth to our first child, he hit me. His violence has escalated lately. Now he’s threatening the children too. He tells me to die quietly somewhere. He once even handed me a knife and said, ‘Go die in front of me.’
— The wife
Even in a distress situation, when she was having an epileptic seizure and paramedics had to be called, the husband kept abusing her verbally. During a consultation with psychiatrist Dr. Lee Kwang Min, the husband confessed that they had to go to couples therapy in 2019 after intense fights. He was made to take the MMPI test, which showed that he had antisocial personality disorder (ASPD).
The couple’s story has left viewers horrified and concerned for the wife and the children’s safety.
