While the international marriage is rapidly increasing since the 1990s in Korea, the divorce case is also rising proportionally. This paper aims to find the factors of marital instability of marriage immigrant woman according to the original nationality. The survey data, ‘2012 a nation-wide survey of multi-cultural families’, was analysed according to original nationality of marriage immigrant woman using a multinominal regression model. Several aspects including socio-demographic features of marriage immigrant woman and her husband, economic features, and the way of meeting husband are taken as independent variable. The results of analysis are as follows:First, the factors affecting the marital stability are different according to the original nationality of marriage immigrant woman. For example, Korean fluency is important for marital stability of marriage immigrant Chinese woman. However, it is not important for marriage immigrant Vietnamese woman. Instead, the tolerance of husband for the multi- cultural gap is more important for marital stability of marriage immigrant Vietnamese woman. Second, health condition is common factor affecting the marital stability regardless of the original nationality of marriage immigrant woman. These findings suggest that the public supportive service for marriage immigrant woman should be specialized according to the original nationality of marriage immigrant woman. In addition, health promotion service should be vitalized for marriage immigrant woman.
