The 1485 revision of Gyeongguk Daejeon, a Joseon code of law included a "prohibition of remarriage of widows", and specified penalties for widows who remarried, prohibiting the sons and grandsons of such a marriage from participating in the civil service exams, effectively banning them from holding public or governmental posts.Yeonsoo Kim.
