The rapid growth of the marriage market shows that the capitalist market economy is very aggressive in absorbing the marriage into the market. This paper aims to explore how the gender system works in gear with the market economy and how gender is reconstructed in the marriage market. Firstly, this study examines Gary Becker"s theory concerning the marriage market as well as the critical discussions on his theory : this is to provide a framework for analysis of the marriage market in the gender perspective. This discussion demonstrates that Becker"s "theory of complementarity" based on the biological reductionism rationalizes and justifies the gender system on the one hand, and disguises, dissimulates and consolidates the gender system in the name of the market economy"s theses on the other. Secondly, this study analyses the characteristics of the korean marriage market through the marriage arrangement companies for the middle/upper class. This analysis brings out that in the Korean marriage market the gender system"s workings and its reconstruction of gender are centering around the mechanisms, such as the indexation of gender, the making of a gendered body of women into exchange value, the inequitable competition between gender and class in accordance with the stratification of the "old misses", and the phenomena of marriage-tech and of love-tech. Becker"s theory of complementarity based on the biological reductionism contradicts this Korean situation where the mercantilization of the gender system is accelerating.
