This chapter is concerned with nuptially

"Nuptially" is meant as a noun? That's the part that strikes me as odd. :) Is it a French calque, like "problematic" as noun?

A little part of me is like, "Duh, infanticide," but perhaps it was less discussed in English circa 1970s. (Koreans practiced it to cull infants unlikely to survive, whether because they had physical flaws hindering their full participation in society as adults or because there wasn't food enough to feed them. But I can't back that up with a study; to me it's inherited common knowledge. I don't know whether the average adult child of someone who left Korea after the 1970s would know, for that matter--it's not talked about much now.)
