Regulation of Marriage Brokerage Agency at the request of the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family. In August 2010, it delivered its opinion to the Minister for Gender Equality and Family that in order to protect the rights of marriage migrants, it was necessary to tighten the procedures for consent of the other party on date meetings for marriage, to attach verification documents when providing identification information, to include crimes of procuring or forcing prostitution in criminal history information record, and to clearly define the scope of mental illness on the health certificates. The Commission reviewed the amendment bill by taking into account the human trafficking aspect of the marriages through international marriage brokerage agencies, the seriousness of violence against migrant women in international marriages, and the concluding observations of UN Human Rights Treaty Bodies on the State report of the Republic of Korea that requested tightening regulations on international marriage brokerage agencies. The Ministry of Gender Equality and Family fully accepted the Commission's opinion and revised the Enforcement Decree of the Act on Regulation of Marriage Brokerage Agency accordingly. Following the tragic death of a migrant wife in July 2010, the Commission expressed condolences to her family and expressed its opinion to the government that the rights of migrant women in international marriages should be protected through conducting thorough investigations of the causes in such cases and improving related laws to meet international human rights standards. 19) Opinion on the Amendment to the Act on the Prevention of Domestic Violence and Protection of Victims In September 2010, the Commission expressed its opinion on the bill on partial amendment to the Act on the Prevention of Domestic Violence and Protection of Victims at the request of the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family.
