"After Having a Second Child, Husband Changed His Mind... Isn't This a 'Fraudulent Marriage'?"

Premarital Agreement on Having Children → Change of Heart After Pregnancy Plans
Expert: "Grounds for Divorce but Difficult to Prove Fraud"

On the 6th, a post titled "Husband Changing His Mind About Having Children After Marriage" was posted on an online community, sparking a heated discussion. The author, Ms. A, is newlywed for two years and is planning to get pregnant. She shared her story, saying, "Before marriage, we mutually agreed to have a second child, but a few months before starting the pregnancy plan, my husband suddenly said he doesn't want to have a child."

According to Ms. A, her husband wanted to have children before marriage but changed his mind afterward. He said, "If we have a child, I will lose my freedom, and I think A's interference will increase, so I don't want to have a child." He even described himself as "a person who is happy not from the happiness children bring, but from doing what he wants."

Ms. A said, "I wish he had told me about this value system before marriage," and added, "One of the reasons I got married was because I wanted to have children, so I am very shocked by my husband's change of heart."

She continued, "We were both taking folic acid and other supplements for pregnancy, so it feels empty," and added, "Because I want a child so much, my husband says, 'If you want, I will even agree to a divorce.' I would appreciate advice on whether this could be considered a fraudulent marriage or grounds for another divorce lawsuit."

Netizens who read Ms. A's distress criticized her husband. Comments included, "I recommend going to a hospital to objectively check if there are any functional problems. It might be that he hid the fact that he was initially unable to conceive and caused trouble after marriage," and "Isn't he just trying to avoid participating in childcare?"

Meanwhile, some comments said, "Many places are discussing the low birthrate issue, and the husband might have had a change of heart after seeing those. You should listen more to why your husband doesn't want children and decide through mutual conversation."

However, an expert expressed the opinion that changing child plans could be grounds for divorce but would be difficult to pursue as a fraudulent marriage case. Lawyer Yang Narae of the law firm Raon, a divorce specialist, told Money Today, "If a decisive factor in deciding to marry, such as education or whether it is a first marriage, was concealed, it can be considered fraud and the marriage can be annulled," but explained, "In this case, it would be difficult to prove that the husband intended to deceive from the beginning."
