The whole North Korea has to follow this rule
There's a rule that you cannot get married on February 16, which stands for the day Kim Jong II was born and April 15, the day when Kim Jong- II was born. Everyone has to bring flowers, wear traditional attires and offer prayers at their statues. Even Kim Jong Un is supposed to follow this one.
She has to portray a specific perception of her husband.
Ri Sol- Ju has to represent her husband in the progressive and modern light. Which is why she dresses up in modernity and liberally while his sister is supposed to represent his traditional side.
Left her birth name and adopt a pseudonym
It is quite common to adopt husband's name after wedding but if you are Ri Sol- Ju you have to even leave your birth name and adopt a new name.
Not allowed to meet the family
Her lifestyle after marriage has changed and it does not let her have leisurely escapes to meet her family.
Only restricted appearances.
Ri- Sol- Ju, the First Lady of North Korea, and her children have to lead a secret life while getting rid of speculations and rumors. And so is allowed to make special appearances and not every time.
Security Protocols
