I am a mother who left her son for 54 years … The bereaved family is upset with the judgment that the death insurance money should be paid

random news
After her son remarried and left when he was 3 years old, she did not contact her, but when the son died in an accident, his mother appeared 54 years later. When he said he would keep all his son’s death insurance money, the court sided with him and other bereaved families are protesting vehemently.

The bereaved families expressed their anger, saying that this happened because of the so-called “Goo Hara Law (Civil Law Amendment Bill),” which prevents parents who have not fulfilled their support obligations from inheriting their children’s property , pending without passing the National. Assembly.
On the 13th, the Busan District Court ruled to recognize Mr. A’s claim in his 80s to pay about 240 million won in insurance money for his son’s death, saying there was a reason.

Before that, it was assumed that Mr A’s son, Mr B (aged 57 at the time of the accident), died when the ship sank in the sea near Geoje City while boarding the 127th Daeyang at around 4:04 pm on January 23 last year.

After that, Mr. B received 237.76 million earned by the shipping company, including survivor benefits, lost pay, and funeral expenses, and Mr. B appeared. And after hearing this news.

However, Mr. A, who did not fulfill his duty to support Mr BC’s sister, applied for a temporary injunction to prohibit the payment of compensation to survivors, saying that he was not qualified as a mother.

According to the Seamen’s Act Enforcement Order, the court said, “Spouses, children, parents, etc. who were not supported by the seaman at the time of the seaman’s death are also considered survivors.”

The court also drew attention to the fact that C had argued that there was a spouse who was in a common law relationship with Mr B, but that it was difficult to see it as a common law marriage because he had never lived at the same address on the resident register .

Mr said. C on the 23rd, “After our father died when we were young and our mother remarried, our brothers and sisters lived a difficult life moving from one relative’s house to another. Our mother raised- our aunt and uncle. However, after abandoning their children and living without contact for the rest of their lives, they turned up to collect insurance money. Can you call a person a mother?” he vomited in anger.

He said, “My brother, who was unmarried according to his residential registration, has lived with a woman for the past six years and maintained a de facto relationship.

The younger brother was a sailor, so when he wasn’t going on a boat for about 15 days a month, the two of them lived in the same house as a de facto couple. The woman had a son in Gimhae, so she went there when her younger brother went out on a boat. That’s why the woman didn’t even change her resident registration.”

He said, “I proposed to my mother that the compensation for the survivors be split in half between the two sides, but my mother said she would take it all. This is too unconscionable. It rains a lot , so it’s a big burden, but it’s such an unfair situation, so I’m going to appeal even if I have to sell my house.”

In June last year, the Ministry of Justice passed the so-called “Goo Hara Law,” which prevents parents who have neglected their child-rearing duties from inheriting their children’s property at a cabinet meeting and presented it to the National Assembly . However, the law is pending as the National Assembly has failed to resolve the differences. This amendment was made by the older brother of the late singer Goo Hara, Goo Ho-in, who petitioned for the enactment of the so-called “Goo Hara Act” to stop this, saying, “The mother who left the young Goo and ran to away from home wanting to receive half of her inheritance after Goo’s death.” It became a trigger.
